PISTOL VIPER BORESNAKE WITH DEN Reviews & Ratings

The Pistol Viper Bore Snake is a braided nylon, pull-through cleaning cord that scrubs, cleans, and lubricates in a single step. The Pistol Viper is just like the original Bore Snake, with 50% more scrubbing surface for those extra-tough cleaning jobs.

Calibers: .22, .30, .32, 9mm, .357, .380, .38, .40, .41, .44, .45

Simply apply bore cleaner to the front of the cord, oil to the end, drop the weighted end down the bore, and pull through. The cone-shaped, nylon bore guide on the lead end protects your gun’s rifling. Extra, built-in bronze brushes and braided cord clean and oil the bore in a few passes. Washable and reusable with "den" case for storage.

Works Great

First time I have used a bore snake, and was concerned about getting stuck in the bore from previous review. I did spray some cleaner and also sprayed barrels before use. I also removed the barrels from the frame before using. Pulled through fine in a sig p365 9mm and a s&w shield ez .380. I also purchased one for my son-in-law

An improvement over the original version

This bore snake is an improvement over the original version, but the best feature is the container. You can now store the bore snake neatly without the bronze brush entangling itself with everything else in our cleaning box. The rope is thicker and the brush is bigger so that it cleans in one pass instead of 5-6. Make sure you put enough cleaner and oil on in the correct areas or you'll be trying to pull it through dry and it won't go easily. Oh, the best improvement is the pull handle that is part of the "Den" makes it so much easier to pull the snake through the bore without wrapping it around your hand.
