Bore cleaners

Bore cleaning solutions can be divided into two broad categories: standard cleaners and copper removers. A standard bore cleaner will generally remove everything that a revolver shooter needs to be concerned with. Copper removers, such as Hoppe’s Benchrest or Sweet’s 7.62, are really designed for precision rifles where small amounts of copper fouling can affect long range accuracy.

That’s just not a problem with handguns. First, because the lower velocities don’t result in as much (if any) copper fouling, and secondly because handguns aren’t expected to deliver fractions of a minute-of-angle accuracy. Copper removers require more care in use and require the use of less effective nylon brushes, because the cleaner causes bronze brushes to deteriorate.

My recommendation is to stick with a standard bore cleaner, even if you generally use a copper cutter in your rifles. I’ve used many different brands of bore cleaners, and while I’d love to shill for a manufacturer I must admit that they all work. As a result I don’t have a favorite, but others certainly do.
