Description
There's a reason Hoppe's has been in gun owners' cabinets for over a century, and this little kit puts the best of that lineup into one tidy package built specifically for .45 caliber pistols. Instead of digging through rods, patches, and jags, you get three proven pieces that handle a bore cleaning start to finish: the No. 9 Gun Bore Cleaner, a .45-sized BoreSnake, and a bottle of lubricating oil. Photo directions are printed right on the packaging, so even a first-timer can follow along without guessing.
How the 1-2-3 Done .45 Kit Works
The process is exactly what the name promises. You run a bit of No. 9 through the bore to loosen carbon, lead, and powder fouling, then pull the BoreSnake through to scrub and wipe it out in a single pass. The BoreSnake does the heavy lifting here, with an integrated bronze brush that scrubs while the braided tail wipes the barrel clean with far more surface area than a standard patch. Finish with a few drops of the lubricating oil, and your handgun is ready for the safe or the range.
What Makes the No. 9 and BoreSnake Combo Worth It
No. 9 is the solvent that built the brand, and it still cuts through the kind of fouling a .45 leaves behind after a range session. The BoreSnake is caliber-matched, washable, and reusable, so it earns its keep over years of use rather than getting tossed after one clean. The high-viscosity oil is refined so it won't gum up your action, which matters if the pistol is going into storage for a while.
Why This Hoppe's Pistol Kit Belongs in Your Range Bag
The whole thing is compact enough to toss in a range bag or keep in a drawer, and it's made in the USA. For quick field cleaning or routine at-home maintenance on a 1911, a Glock 21, or any other .45, it covers the basics without the bulk of a full parts kit.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the Hoppe's 1-2-3 Done .45 cal kit include?
The kit comes with three pieces: Hoppe's No. 9 Gun Bore Cleaner, a .45 caliber BoreSnake, and a bottle of lubricating oil. Photo directions are printed on the packaging to walk you through the process. It's everything you need for a basic bore cleaning without a full parts kit.
Will this kit work for any .45 caliber pistol?
Yes, the BoreSnake is sized for .45 caliber handguns, so it fits common pistols like the 1911, Glock 21, and other .45 ACP guns. The No. 9 solvent and oil aren't caliber-specific and can be used on any of your firearms. Just make sure the bore diameter matches when using the snake.
Is the BoreSnake in this kit reusable?
It is. The Hoppe's BoreSnake is machine washable and built to be used over and over, so it holds up for years rather than being a one-and-done tool. When it gets loaded with residue, toss it in the wash and it's ready for the next session.
Does this kit fully clean a pistol or just the bore?
This kit focuses on the bore, which is the fastest and most important part of routine maintenance. For a deep clean, many owners still field strip and wipe down the rest of the pistol a couple times a year. For quick range-day or storage prep, the 1-2-3 process covers the essentials.
