The kit is simple but effective—inside the box you get the aluminum rod with handle, patches, and the famous Hoppe’s No. 9 solvent. Everything you need to clean a .38, .357, or 9mm pistol is here. The aluminum rod is lightweight but doesn’t feel flimsy. It threads together securely and reaches easily down the barrel without scratching. The included slotted tip works fine for patches, though I’d recommend picking up some extra caliber-specific brushes if you really want to get into heavy fouling. The No. 9 solvent has that unmistakable Hoppe’s scent, and it cuts through carbon buildup and powder residue quickly. A little goes a long way, so the small bottle in this kit is actually quite practical for most handgun owners. I like that the kit is compact—easy to toss in a range bag for quick cleanings after shooting. The patches included are fine for a start, but you’ll definitely want more since they go fast. Also, the packaging is basic (mine came in a simple blister pack), so don’t expect a fancy case to keep everything organized. Bottom line: A tried-and-true starter kit for handgun cleaning. It’s affordable, portable, and backed by a name most shooters trust. If you clean your firearms often, you’ll eventually add brushes and more patches, but this kit is a solid foundation that does the job well. Review: Very good firearms cleaning kit - I love this kit, it comes with almost everything your handguns will need. Sure there are some other accessories that you could utilize but for a basic set this is superb. I haven’t had any issues with the rods, jags, brushes, or patches. The cleaner and lubricant are very beneficial for your firearm. The price is very reasonable and just right. ## Features - Plastic storage box - Hoppe's No. 9 cleaning kit with aluminum rod - Includes one 2 ounce bottle cleaning solvent and one 2.25 ounce lubricating oil - Brush for the intended caliber is included with this kit - Intended for .38, .357 and 9 millimeter pistols - Packaged in a box, not clamshell ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B001A4N47G | | Best Sellers Rank | #4,764 in Sports & Outdoors ( See Top 100 in Sports & Outdoors ) #219 in Hunting Equipment | | Brand Name | HOPPE'S | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (14,043) | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00026285511499 | | Included Components | Hoppe's No. 9 Cleaning Kit with Aluminum Rod, .38/.357 Caliber, 9mm Pistol (Packaging's May Vary) | | Item Type Name | Hoppe's No. 9 Cleaning Kit with Aluminum Rod, .38/.357 Caliber, 9mm Pistol (Packaging's May Vary) | | Item Weight | 11.25 ounces | | Liquid Volume | 4.25 Fluid Ounces | | Manufacturer | Hoppe's | | Manufacturer Part Number | PCO38 | | Model Number | PCO38 | | Set Name | Hoppe's Pistol Cleaning Kit | | UPC | 026285511499 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | | Warranty Description | Warranty | ## Product Details - **Brand:** HOPPE'S - **Liquid Volume:** 4.25 Fluid Ounces - **Set Name:** Hoppe's Pistol Cleaning Kit - **Unit Count:** 1.0 Count ## Images ![PCO38 No. 9 Cleaning Kit with Aluminum Rod, .38/.357 Caliber, 9mm Pistol - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61k8glwWcNL.jpg) ![PCO38 No. 9 Cleaning Kit with Aluminum Rod, .38/.357 Caliber, 9mm Pistol - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71hLUQGhlHL.jpg) ![PCO38 No. 9 Cleaning Kit with Aluminum Rod, .38/.357 Caliber, 9mm Pistol - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/719IBwroVuL.jpg) ![PCO38 No. 9 Cleaning Kit with Aluminum Rod, .38/.357 Caliber, 9mm Pistol - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71kSOctVCEL.jpg) ![PCO38 No. 9 Cleaning Kit with Aluminum Rod, .38/.357 Caliber, 9mm Pistol - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71kJuPwe9aL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Will this work on a .40 caliber?** A: It would be better to use a cleaning kit for 40 caliber. This will work but not be as effective. **Q: Does this kit include brushes (nylon, phosphor bronze, etc)?** A: This kit includes one very stiff bristled nylong brush, one slotted end, and one knob end. It's a single rod only, since it's for a pistol. Also includes one box of patches (about 40 patches in the box), a 2 ounce bottle of Hoppes #9 bore cleaner and a 2 1/4 ounce bottle of lubricating oil. Standard Hoppes brushes found in gun shops everywhere will fit this rod, so you can add/replace as necessary. **Q: Would the brushes fit my S&W 380 Bodyguard?** A: The Brush is .4'' diameter & 1.2" long, and you can also use the Cloth wipes. I use it on my 9MM Pistol, and fits a .38 Pistol, too. J.S. **Q: Fits a .38 special?** A: Intended for .38, .357 and 9mm pistols ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Classic Cleaning Kit That Still Delivers *by E***S on September 3, 2025* Classic Cleaning Kit That Still Delivers This Hoppe’s No. 9 pistol cleaning kit is one of those classic products that has been around forever, and after using it I can see why.

Sure there are some other accessories that you could utilize but for a basic set this is superb. I haven’t had any issues with the rods, jags, brushes, or patches. The cleaner and lubricant are very beneficial for your firearm. The price is very reasonable and just right. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The Classic Gun Cleaning Kit That Just Works *by J***N on April 20, 2026* If you grew up around firearms, you already know that Hoppe's No. 9 smell. It hits you the second you open the box and immediately transports you to every range bag and gun safe you've ever been around. There's a reason this brand has been the go-to for generations. The kit includes a solid one-piece aluminum rod, caliber-specific nylon brush, slotted and knob ends, a jag, round die-cut patches, a 2 oz bottle of the legendary No. 9 bore cleaner, and 2.25 oz of Hoppe's lubricating oil. Everything comes packaged in a reusable plastic storage box that actually holds up over time, which I appreciate. Performance-wise, the No. 9 solvent cuts through carbon, lead, and copper fouling efficiently. A few passes with the brush and a couple of clean patches and you're done. The aluminum rod is a nice touch over cheaper plastic rods since it handles the push-pull forces without flexing. The kit covers barrels up to 10 inches, so it handles most common pistols comfortably. The supplies included are just enough to get you through a few cleaning sessions, so plan to restock the patches and cleaner separately down the road. Still, for the price, this is the most straightforward way to keep a 9mm or .38/.357 pistol clean and well lubricated. An easy recommendation for any shooter. ## Frequently Bought Together - Hoppe's No. 9 Cleaning Kit with Aluminum Rod, .38/.357 Caliber, 9mm Pistol (Packaging's May Vary) - PINGMIC Gun Cleaning Supplies - Gun Cleaning Patches and Long Cotton Swabs Set, 6" Cotton Swabs, Lint Free Cloth Fit Most Caliber Firearms - Drymate Gun Cleaning Pad, Premium Gun Cleaning Mat, Absorbent, Waterproof, Durable, Protects Surfaces, Contains Liquids (Made in The USA) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/2703151-pco38-no-9-cleaning-kit-with-aluminum-rod-38-357](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/2703151-pco38-no-9-cleaning-kit-with-aluminum-rod-38-357) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-04*
