The Hoppe's BoreSnake Den takes the fastest bore cleaner around and gives it a proper home. Built for .44 and .45 caliber pistols and revolvers, this one-pass system uses an integrated bronze brush to break up carbon fouling while the long woven tail follows behind to sweep everything out of the barrel. That trailing section carries a cleaning surface roughly 160 times larger than a standard patch, which is why a single pull does the work of a dozen patch-and-rod cycles. Add a few drops of solvent to the front and a little oil to the tail, and you can clean and lubricate in the same motion.
The Den is a clear, reusable carry case that keeps your BoreSnake protected and lint-free between cleanings. Its lid snaps into the case for storage and pops off to serve as a pull handle, giving you extra leverage when you're dragging the rope through a tight bore. This model also includes a T-handle for even easier pulls, which is a nice touch if you're cleaning a revolver cylinder or working through a snug barrel. Everything stays contained in one compact package that drops into a range bag, pack, or glovebox without a tangle.
Using it is about as simple as gun cleaning gets. Make sure the firearm is unloaded, drop the brass weight down the chamber end, feed it out the muzzle, and pull the whole rope through in the same direction the bullet travels to protect the rifling. Most folks run it two or three passes until the bore looks right. The brass weight is etched with the caliber so there's no second-guessing which snake you grabbed, and the whole thing is machine washable, so when it gets grimy you toss it in the wash and it's ready for the next round.
It's a great choice for a quick clean at the range, a field touch-up, or a fast wipe-down before storing your handgun. It won't replace a full detail strip when you want to chase copper or scrub the action, but for keeping a bore in good shape between deep cleans, it's tough to beat.
Hoppe's says one pass gets the job done, but most people run it two or three times until the bore looks clean. Always pull it in the same direction the bullet travels, from chamber to muzzle, to protect the rifling. Never saw it back and forth.
Yes, this model is sized to clean both .44 and .45 caliber handguns, including revolvers and semi-autos. For a revolver, it's easiest to swing out or remove the cylinder and clean the barrel and chambers separately. The brass weight is etched with the caliber so you always know which snake you're holding.
Absolutely, and that's part of what makes it handy. Put a few drops of bore solvent near the front of the rope to loosen fouling, then a little gun oil on the tail end to lubricate the bore as it pulls through. That lets you clean and oil in a single pass.
It is. The BoreSnake is machine washable, so once it gets loaded up with fouling you can toss it in the wash and air dry it. It'll keep working until the bronze bristles are worn down, and the Den case keeps it clean and protected in your bag between uses.
