Breakthrough Clean Technologies® Square Cotton Patches — 2.25" x 2.25", 50-Pack | For .38–.45 Caliber Handguns & .410–20 Gauge Shotguns | BT-CP-S-2-1/4-50 | BTCPS21450 | UPC 854325008209

Give your pistols and scatterguns a faster, cleaner finish with the Breakthrough Clean Technologies Square Cotton Patches (2-1/4" x 2-1/4"). Sized to deliver confident coverage in .38–.45 caliber bores and .410–20 gauge shotguns (with the correct jag/loop or patch holder), these tight-weave, low-lint cotton patches soak up solvent, lift fouling, and lay down a smooth protective oil film—so you use fewer passes and keep accuracy and reliability dialed in.

Why These 2.25" Patches Stand Out

• Optimized fit: The 2.25-inch square provides excellent rifling and smoothbore contact in .38 Special/.357 Magnum, 9mm, .40 S&W, 10mm, .44, .45 ACP/.45 Colt and in .410–20 ga barrels with the right tip or patch holder.

• High absorbency, low lint: Premium cotton fibers hold solvent and oil without shredding, minimizing fiber left behind for a bright, uniform finish.

• Consistent drag: Uniform cut and thickness make every pass feel the same—ideal for repeatable patch/brush cycles.

• Faster cleaning: Larger square wipes more fouling per stroke, speeding post-range maintenance and pre-storage prep.

• Grab-and-go quantity: 50 patches—perfect for range bags, travel kits, and quick restocks.

Ideal Uses

• Handguns: .38/.357, 9mm, .40 S&W, 10mm, .44, .45 ACP/.45 Colt

• Shotguns: .410 bore to 20 gauge (with compatible patch holder/loop)

• Pistol-caliber carbines: .40/10mm and .45 platforms

• Match prep & field care: Quick wipe-downs between stages or after a rainy hunt

• Long-term storage: Even, thin oil application to prevent rust and humidity damage

Faster, Cleaner Results in Fewer Passes

Pair these patches with your favorite solvent to loosen carbon, lead, and plastic wad residue. The square cut delivers dependable bore contact to push fouling out and finish with a thin, even coat of oil that resists corrosion. The result? Shorter cleaning sessions and a firearm that runs smoother, patterns tighter, and groups more consistently.

How to Use (Best Practices)

1. Select the right tip: Use a caliber-specific jag or loop; for shotguns, use a patch holder/loop sized for .410–20 ga.

2. Solvent pass: Saturate a patch and push in one direction (breech to muzzle) to avoid dragging debris back through the crown.

3. Agitate (optional): For stubborn fouling, scrub with a caliber-matched nylon/bronze brush, then follow with fresh solvent patches.

4. Dry passes: Run clean, dry patches until they emerge light gray to clean.

5. Protect: Finish with a lightly oiled patch. For semi-autos, avoid over-oiling gas systems.

Fit Tip: If a patch feels overly tight with a specific jag or holder, switch to a loop-style tip or trim a corner for a tailored fit—bore and tip tolerances vary by brand.

Storage & Care

• Keep patches dry and sealed to preserve absorbency.

• Store away from open solvent and oil to prevent accidental pre-saturation.

• Dispose of used solvent patches responsibly; allow them to air out first, per local guidelines.
