MICRO-POLISHED STAINLESS STEEL CLEANING ROD – 12″ PISTOL, .22 CALIBER & UP

Proper bore maintenance relies on the right rod—one that won't scratch or bind inside your barrel. This 12-inch micro-polished stainless steel rod handles .22 caliber and larger pistols with precision. Whether you're in Pittsburg or anywhere across the Bay, TacticCAL Gun Store serves shooters who demand reliable gear. As a licensed FFL dealer in Silicon Valley, we stock professional-grade cleaning supplies for serious firearm maintenance.

Why micro-polished steel matters

A polished rod surface prevents the micro-gouging that standard rods leave behind during cleaning strokes. The #8-32 thread pattern on this Pro-Shot rod accepts standard brush and patch holder attachments, making it compatible with most cleaning kits. At 12 inches, it's sized for pistol work without the excess length of rifle rods. When you visit TacticCAL for transfers or supplies, our team can walk you through compatible components and FFL transfer pricing options. Visit our gun shop in Sunnyvale for our full catalog.

Frequently asked questions

Will this rod work with my .22 LR semi-automatic pistol?

Yes. The #8-32 thread pattern accepts standard cleaning attachments for .22 caliber and larger. The 12-inch length is ideal for pistol-length barrels and provides control without extra rod extending past the muzzle.

What's the difference between micro-polished and standard stainless steel rods?

Micro-polishing removes surface irregularities that can micro-scratch your bore during cleaning. Standard rods leave tiny marks that accumulate and degrade accuracy. Polished rods glide smoothly and protect bore integrity over hundreds of cleaning cycles.
