The Hoppe's PCO38B is a purpose-built pistol cleaning kit for .38/.357 and 9mm handguns—the calibers most shooters actually use at the range or in the field. This is a no-nonsense, portable cleaning solution that bundles the essentials: the solvents, oil, rod, and brushes you need to keep your carry gun or target pistol running clean. It's packaged in a clam pack, making it ideal for storage in a range bag or locker without taking up much space.

Inside you'll find Hoppe's No. 9 Gun Bore Cleaner—the industry standard for dissolving powder residue and fouling—plus their Traditional Lubricating Oil to protect against corrosion and friction. The one-piece aluminum cleaning rod features a ball bearing swivel handle designed to follow your bore's rifling without binding, so you can push or pull patches and brushes smoothly without fighting resistance. The caliber-specific design means the nylon brush and jag are matched to .38/.357 and 9mm bores, eliminating guesswork and ensuring an effective fit.

This is the kit for shooters who clean their pistols regularly but don't need a bloated universal set gathering dust. It's compact enough to keep on hand, trusted enough to rely on, and priced to replace when it's time.
