Hoppe’s 1324 Cotton Cleaning Swab .40/.45 Caliber 10 Pack

Description

When you're wrapping up a cleaning session and want to get the last of the loose fouling and excess solvent out of the bore, a cotton swab beats a wad of patches every time. The Hoppe's 1324 is a straightforward, no-nonsense swab made from 100% cotton and sized for .40 and .45 caliber barrels. It slides down the bore and mops up what your brush and solvent loosened, leaving things clean without the risk of scratching or marring the barrel.

What the Hoppe's 1324 Swab Does Best

Think of these as the final pass in your routine. After you've run solvent and a bronze brush through, the cotton swab pulls out the gunk and soaks up leftover cleaner so you're left with a dry, clean bore ready for a light coat of oil. The soft cotton construction is gentle enough to use often, and because they're washable, you can rinse one out and put it right back to work instead of tossing it after a single use.

Thread Pattern and Setup on the 1324 Cleaning Swab

Each swab uses a #8-32 thread, which matches up with standard pistol and rifle cleaning rods and the jags and attachments found in most Hoppe's kits. If your rod runs a different thread, a simple adapter gets you sorted. There's nothing fancy to figure out here. Thread it on, run it through, and you're done.

Why Ten in a Pack Makes Sense

Buying the 10 pack means you've always got a fresh swab on the bench when the last one is finally worn out, and it keeps you stocked for multiple firearms chambered in that .40 to .45 range. These are the kind of small supply that's easy to forget about until you're mid-cleaning and realize you're out, so having a handful on hand saves the headache. Pair them with your favorite Hoppe's solvent and a bore brush and you've got a complete cleaning routine covered.
