Great Pistol Barrel Cleaner(07/01/2015)
I've used these fairly often to clean my wife's XD 45, and they work great. One thing I like to do is run them through stick end first. This way they seem to hold a bit more of the solvent a bit longer. They do really clean the bore, but I think they might be a little tight for putting a final oil swipe in the barrel.
In a pinch, you can use the 45's for cleaning a 9 mm gun. I got my wife a new 9 Shield, and used the 45 RamRodz to clean the barrel, that's when I found running them through backwards worked a lot better. I have ordered the 9's because I like using the 45's. Will also probably get the small 22's, just for the nooks & cranny's.
Last batch didn't swabs came apart(04/03/2018)
I've used these in 9mm and .45 for a couple years now and mostly have been pleased but the last batch in 9mm and .45 had issues. In the case of the .45 swabs one of two things happened. Either the head would come apart in the transition from the chamber to the barrel, or it would come apart on the first pass backward from crown to chamber. In the past with previous batches neither was ever a problem. It's possible I just got a bad batch as previous batches have been okay, but it is concerning the 9mm batch I recently bought had issues as well being undersized. With the .45 especially they are very expensive for only 100 of them so to have half or more fail is unimpressive.
Great for Revolvers(17/03/2018)
I use the .45 on my revolver cylinder and barrel after I finish running standard patches through. The Ram Rodz pick up a ton of grime that the patches didn't - especially in the revolver cylinder.. Great product.
love em(27/07/2014)
excellent absorbent, ease of use
Good stuff - beats jag & patch(31/03/2014)
Purchased 3 diff sizes, quality product and cleaned barrels significantly better & quicker job than a jag & patch with no spills, barrels virtually spotless in an incredibly short amount of time. The only "con' I found is some swabs were not uniform in thickness (thinner). Quickly solved the problem by using a patch on those. Hoping they offer them in assorted rifle & shotgun swabs soon.
I love these!(09/09/2015)
Very useful in cleaning revolver cylinders.
Ramrodz (16/01/2018)
Got a sample of these in a prior order. Set them aside for about 6 months and tried one on my SW 38 spl. Wow. Did not have enough samples so ordered full packs of 22, 38 and 308. Been shooting my 38 for 50+ years and thought that it was "clean". it was NOT! 22 swabs later and some Butches Boreshine and a brass brush, NOW it is clean!! This sure beats cutting patches and jags!! Well worth the cost vs the time for the old way. I guess I will find out how "clean" my other guns are now.
Last batch was undersized (04/03/2018)
I've used these for 2-3 years now and mostly have been very happy. However the last batch I ordered was undersized. Previous batches the swab was just snug in the chamber and tight in the barrel, this latest batch was loose in the chamber and not tight enough in the barrel to really clean the rifling grooves. It's possible I just got a bad batch as I've had good luck with them in the past, but they are very expensive to not have them work.
I used 6" swabs on 22s these are better(09/04/2014)
I use these for cleaning the bore of my target 22s and reaching into small areas. the bamboo bends and doesn't snap like the wood stems. I use them for anything that i would have used swabs for. Wish they were cheaper but still well worth the price. How about a bag of mixed sizes to try them all.
Ps Buy some of the big ones even if you don't have a large bore they are very handy for clean up and applying blue.
Forget the other q-tips(22/08/2014)
These are best q-tips you can ever use to use in your firearms. First, the packaging is very neat and convenient. they come in a zip lock bag which is very useful. Now, the product itself is well made and it will not leave lints all ver the place like the other q-tips. Second, they don't brake. You can use them with confidence. I am extremely happy that I discovered this product. If you are an avid shooter, gunsmith, armorer these q-tips are definitely a wise investment. You won't be let down.
Excellent(27/11/2014)
These are, by far, the best swabs I have used. The stick is long enough to get into those hard to reach places, the swab is tightly wound and doesn't come apart, and - here's the best part - the stick is flexible and doesn't snap as you are manipulating the swab. In fact, after being amazed by the flexibility and strength of the stick I decided to bend one (used, of course - I'm just that cheap) to see how far it would go before it broke. I bent it fully 180 degrees, and even then it didn't snap - the stick just split. It would have still been usable. I can't tell you how many times I have had "the other brands" snap off, just when I am reaching into that hardest to get to spot on a rifle or pistol.
I don't use these to clean the barrel (they are much more expensive than patches), but just to check their claim I did send one through the barrel of my Ruger Single Six. The claim is valid: it fit tightly, and did a very good job of picking up fouling in the barrel. I would say one of these swabs absorbs about twice as much as a patch (but as stated, I'm cheap so still using patches).
Bottom line: these are an Excellent choice, and I will be buying more of them.
