Otis Technologies FG-645 Cleaning System, Professional Pistol, Clam Package

This is probably the best compact 9 mm cleaning kit that you can purchase. Very versatile and comes with everything you need. I like to buy these for gifts for my friends that I served with

I guess I have probably used all of the various gun cleaning kits over the years, and the Otis kit/system is my favorite approach to gun cleaning. I usually take the kit to the range in my gun bag and save myself the use of brass brushes by cleaning the gun while it is still warm. The thinking these days seems to lean towards this system where the barrel is cleaned from the breach forward rather than placing rods, etc., down the barrel with possible damage to the crown of the barrel hence having a potential negative impact on a gun's accuracy.I also like the fact that the Otis solvent is an all-in-one cleaner, lube and protectant. The patch system is also interesting in which the same size patch can be used for various calibers depending on how it is placed in the patch holder. If you have any questions on how this system works, there are some excellent videos on the Otis website. Also, as another reviewer pointed out, be sure you buy the precise kit that fits your needs - there are quite a few choices and they are clearly explained on the Otis website.

Great starter pack. Got for someone as a gift. Comes with a ton of great pieces.

I was very happy with my Otis Pistol Cleaning kit. The parts are all quality, as I would expect from this company. The cords and brushes feel durable and stood up well to about ten cleanings so far. The only thing that I had to do was go out and buy some more cleaning patches, as well as oil and cleaning fluid. The lube that they include is supposed to be used for both cleaning and lubrication, but I prefer to only use it as a lubricant and it does not include very much. I should say that it does fine for cleaning the weapon but I can't break some habits.These kits will save you from repeatedly buying the same parts from lesser companies. It has a nice selection of picks and punches and really makes cleaning easy. Its compact, so you can bring it to the range and run a swab through your gun at the end of the day in a flash. In my opinion, I think that most shooters would be happy with this purchase.

Otis makes fine products and this kit is if you receive it new. But as I often find with Amazon these days, I received either a return or a shopworn item that had been opened and used and badly repackaged. When you pay premium prices for things you expect them to be new as advertised and sealed accordingly. I got a crumpled box and a kit that had obviously been used to clean a weapon at least once. Beware of purchasing items from Amazon that are valuable for a single or few uses and then subject to a return. I've gotten burned with shopworn musical instruments, tools, and especially cell phone accessories. If it says "retail packaging" do not buy !!! That almost always been lots of defectives or returns bought up by a third party seller where maybe 25% work. If you doubt this call the manufacturer and ask if they sell different kinds of package and to the particular seller in question. You'll find they do not do either. Beware !

I've owned plenty of handguns and used all kinds of different cleaners and this one is the best. It has everything you need to clean your gun. I own several .40 cal. handguns and use this kit mainly for my sig 229 40 and glock 23 because those guns are the most I shoot with. I wanted a good cleaning kit that has everything I need to clean those guns and it works great. My only downfall was that since I purchased this was for my .40 cal hand guns and on the main website for this kit says 9mm - .45 cal and the 2 brass brushes that came with this package were labeled on the brush .38 and .45, while they make several other brushes for a specific caliber, but the 45 works with the .40 caliber well enough. I'd recommend this kit to anyone.

Always looking for new and inventive way to clean my firearm. I do like the how the cord allows you more leverage to pull the cloths and brush through the bore instead of the traditional push method of a bar. However, I am not a fan of the cloths themselves. A lot of times they end up going back through the original opening. Maybe I am threading it wrong somehow,but I do not believe so. Just for the ease of "set-up" I have went back to an original bar. But I do still use all the tools that it came with. I am also not a fan of a cleaner and lubricant mixed together. I have never and will never lube the inside of a barrel. So having a cleaner and lube mix counters that. Great product for some, just not for me, but not taking anything away from it.

I have used Otis kits for decades. Kits have everything you need to clean your firearm. The clam shell nylon case keeps everything contained. Made in USA. Quality is second to none. Competitively priced on Amazon. Fast Prime shipping. Thank you!
