The Hoppe's BoreSnake Viper Den takes the fastest bore cleaner around and gives it a proper home. Built for .40 and .41 caliber pistols and sized to work with 10mm as well, the Viper runs an integrated set of bronze brushes down the barrel to scrub out carbon fouling, while the woven tail follows behind to wipe the bore clean. It all happens in one pull, which means no bending rods, no lost jags, and no pile of dirty patches once you're done.
What sets the Viper apart from the original BoreSnake is the extra brush. Where the standard model runs a single bronze brush, the Viper carries three for roughly 50 percent more scrubbing power on each pass. A cone-shaped bore guide on the leading end helps the whole thing feed into the chamber cleanly, and the woven tail gives you far more cleaning surface than a folded patch ever could. The brass weight is stamped with the caliber, so there's no guessing which snake you grabbed when you own a few.
The Den is the storage upgrade a lot of folks were waiting on. It's a compact clear case with a built-in handle, and that handle pulls off to double as a T-handle for the pull-through. That grip makes a real difference on a snug pistol bore, where the Viper's thicker profile can take a firm tug. When you're finished, the snake coils back into the case and the lid snaps shut, keeping everything tidy and protected in a range bag or backpack.
A lot of shooters run a little oil or Hoppe's No. 9 on the tail before pulling through for a quick end-of-day clean, then do a deeper scrub every so often. Drop the weight in from the chamber end, feed it out the muzzle, and pull it through in the direction the bullet travels to keep from working against the rifling. When the snake gets grimy after enough range trips, toss it in the washing machine and it comes back ready to go. Between the reusable design and the tidy case, it's a grab-and-go cleaning kit that lives right in your bag.
Yes. This model is sized for .40 and .41 caliber and is listed to fit 10mm handguns since they share the same bore diameter as the .40 S&W. One snake covers all three, which is handy if you own more than one of those calibers.
The Viper carries three integrated bronze brushes instead of one, giving you about 50 percent more scrubbing power per pass. It also adds a cone-shaped bore guide on the leading end so it feeds into the chamber more easily. The Den version rounds it out with a storage case and T-handle.
You can. The snake is machine washable, so after enough trips to the range when it turns black and oily, a quick wash brings it back to near-new. It's built to be reused until the bronze bristles finally wear down.
Make sure the firearm is unloaded first, then drop the brass weight into the chamber end and feed it out the muzzle. Snap the lid onto the cord to use it as a T-handle and pull the snake through in the same direction the bullet travels. A little oil or Hoppe's No. 9 on the tail helps for a deeper clean.
