Good basic weapon service kit.
Just looking for some advice on a good, basic weapon service kit to issue to a police officer. I have a pretty good idea of what I want in the kit, but I don't think it hurts to get a second opinion. They will need the ability to clean a service pistol and shotgun. If it makes much difference, the pistol is a Glock 22 and Remington 870. I hope to get your opinions on things like brush brands, rod brands, and patch preferences. I'd like to stay away from anything super cheap. Value is great, but cheap is worthless. I'm fairly certain of the lubricant and solvent I'll be choosing for the kit. Any and all opinions are welcome. I won't disclose very much information about the department however, but welcome any questions.
I'm looking for something similar to this but with your preferred brands, unless the brand doesn't matter. (e.g. paper towels, cotton swabs, pipe cleaners, etc.) Solvent Lubricant Rod (pistol and shotgun or combination) Jags and Patch holders Patches Cotton Swabs and so on... Again, thanks for all help. All advice will be considered and appreciated! |

I would get a pistol and shotgun rod. Not sure brand matters.
I would get a jag and brush for each. For lube, I would get a bottle of Weaponshield. Solvent???? Not sure what is best for these 2. |

Here's one that will do it all for just $29.99:
http://www.walmart.com/ip/Gun-Master...m-Case/4939699 Or another option is get sectional rods and the needed brushes and pack them in a small tool or fishing tackle box I prefer the tackle box due to the sections provided for small pieces and the lower area for larger items such as assorted screwdrivers I wouldn't worry about a "shotgun rod" since shotgun barrels seldom need scrubbing like rifled barrels, and almost never need cleaning "in the field" A light wiping will take care of the shotguns 99% of the time. The best thing to use for that is a "Tico Tool" They work great and will last a lifetime: http://www.outers-guncare.com/produc...ticotools.aspx

Exactly
This is exactly the kind of stuff I was looking for. I have never heard of the Tico Tool and I look forward to trying it. Thanks!

I just use Remington kit that uses cables instead of rods. Maybe not the best setup but I like it. I use it for everything from .22 to 10 gauge.

I like the pull throughs. I have an Otis and a couple of different sizes of bore snakes. What we're looking for and what has more or less been approved is the "standard" cleaning kit with rods and patches. I think this is mostly due to the fact that it's the method that's still taught in the academy during firearms block.

Boretech. Their cleaners are great, no fumes, all non toxic so safe around kids. They also have great rods, you want something that is not going to catch debris. A bore guide is helpful. I would also buy bore snakes. They don't hurt your rifle, I have used them in my competition rifles and handguns and they still shoot perfect. They are good for in the field when you need a quick field cleaning to get back in to tight groups.
btw Boretech is made in America as well. |
