Description
Lead and powder fouling build up fast in a handgun bore, and a soft nylon brush just pushes it around. The Hoppe's 1307P phosphor bronze pistol brush is the tool that gets it out. The bronze bristles are stout enough to scrub away caked-on lead, carbon and copper, yet soft enough to leave your rifling untouched. Buying it in a 10-pack means you always have a fresh brush ready when the last one wears down, which is the smart way to stock a cleaning bench.
What the 1307P Bronze Brush Handles
This brush is sized for .38 and .357 caliber bores, and it also works well in .380 and 9mm handguns. The multi-directional bristle pattern grabs fouling from every angle as you pass it through, so you spend less time working the same stubborn spots. It shines on lead fouling in particular, which is exactly what revolver shooters running cast bullets tend to fight the most.
Fitment and Everyday Use
Each brush uses the standard 8-32 thread pattern, so it spins right onto most common pistol and rifle cleaning rods without any adapter. Measuring right around 4.9 inches, it's easy to grip and control on shorter rods. Pair it with a bore solvent like Hoppe's No. 9, run a few passes, then follow with patches to wipe the loosened crud out. A bronze brush is a wear item by design, so having ten on hand means you can retire one the moment the bristles start to soften and never skip a proper cleaning.
Hoppe's has been in the gun-care business for well over a century, and their bronze brushes have earned a reputation as a dependable, no-nonsense staple. Whether you shoot a wheelgun every weekend or just want to keep a carry pistol spotless, this ten-pack covers you for a long time.

Frequently Asked Questions
What calibers does the Hoppe's 1307P bronze brush fit?
It's designed for .38 and .357 caliber handgun bores. It also works well in .380 and 9mm barrels since those share a similar bore diameter. If you shoot any of those cartridges, this one brush covers them all.
Will these brushes thread onto my existing cleaning rod?
Yes. The 1307P uses the standard 8-32 thread, which is the common size for most pistol and rifle cleaning rods. No adapter is needed for typical rods, so it should spin right on.
Why bronze instead of a nylon brush?
Bronze bristles are stiffer and far more effective at cutting through lead and heavy fouling that nylon tends to just slide over. They're still soft enough that they won't harm your rifling. A common approach is to loosen crud with nylon first, then finish with the bronze brush for a cleaner bore.
Why does the 1307P come in a 10-pack?
Bronze brushes are a wear item, and the bristles gradually soften and lose their bite with repeated use. A 10-pack lets you swap in a fresh brush the moment one wears down instead of stretching a tired brush past its prime. For frequent shooters, this is the economical way to stay stocked for years.
