Disappointed
I read "Dewey universal, all-caliber (.22 and up)" and thought this was for handguns. Maybe it's for AR-type "pistols." In any case, 9-in. is a little long for a 1911 or a .380. Also, I'm not confident that the handle-to-rod fitment is going to last. I've got an aluminum cleaning rod from an Outer's kit from 1982 that works like new. Maybe I should have stayed with that.
