Triangle Patches: Are they better?

I have cut my own as well as bought patches for cleaning. In the latest magazine advertisements I've seen a pitch for Triangle Patches & it extols the benefits. I haven't found any to give a try at gun stores or gun shows I have visited. Anybody tried these & have any comments?

TIA...

I can't imagine they would really make any difference. Only one way to find out though, cut your next bunch in a triangle and give it a go.

Yeah, I thought about that but if you'll notice they are not exactly triangles - kind of a strange star shape. That's why I was hoping to score a small package at the store to try or use as a template. All my patches are square now, but I use to get nothing but round. Can't say as I noticed any difference.

THX..

So long as it encompasses the jag, it's good.

The word "gimmick" comes to mind. Along with some cruder words.

How did we ever manage with the clearly inferior square patch.:what:

I guess the same way I accidentally use to kill deer with an inferior lead core bullet that cost 20 cents.

You know, they may be better, but the difference is probably inconsequential.
