Can you guys recommend me a decent handgun cleaning kit

that is small and portable? I just want something to have when

I stay away from home. I did some online research and some

things come up but wanted some local reviews/thoughts.

I keep this on the strap of my bag http://www.otisgun.com/pc_product_detail.asp?key=B9DC009A351C4D44BE717B4E656E7CDA

I assume this is when you're staying up in Bergen county. If so and you don't need ultra small/portable, gander mountain is having a sale on one. $12.50 and free shipping. I just ordered one myself.

I already posted that in the hot deals - it's been sold out since last friday.

So do I. Its a great cleaning kit, albeit a little expensive. I think its worth it though.

I was going to recommend the otis kit, actually if u buy the elite kit... you get the small carry kit with it. SO you end up with a complete kit w/ bag and everything u would ever possibly need + the small carry bag.

You can find their products much cheaper then what they advertise, i bought mine for like 80 bucks. I personally think its the best value kit otis makes.

I opted for the law enforcement kit, since it comes with all the calibers i shoot.

+1 for Otis. I have an Otis Tactical. (Usually can find it for like $35 - $40)

 

Buy 1 kit... use it for everything. They're a bit more $$ than say a Hoppe's or Remington etc kit or something... but they're worth it. High quality parts, everything you need from .17 to .50 (and shotguns) and all in a small package about the size of 2 skoal tins.

Another thumbs up for the Otis kit..

I have used this for ten years. I dopped a .22lr brush and a .45acp brush in the handle also. Throw this in a ziploc bag with a small bottle of CLP, some patches and I have not wanted for anything else since.

I made this this cleaning box out of a old wine crate I found in my shed + a cheap outers kit

I'll give the otis kit a +1.

Another vote for Otis. Great kit to throw into your range bag

That's a pretty neat little kit. Might have to pick one of those up.

I picked a Tetra-Gun brand cleaning kit for $14.99, I believe, at Ramsey Outdoor in Paramus. I probably could have spend much more, but frankly I see no reason to. It comes with barrel rod, a screw-on caliber specific brush, a screw on patch eyelet, a vial of lube, a bottle of solvent, and a small box patch of patches. Everything comes in a plastic box, as opposed to a bag, pouch, or blister pack, which factored as a plus in my view. There is enough room at the bottom of the box to throw in additional items (Q-tips and bore-snake). I recommend to check it out. When the solvent runs out, I'll refill the bottle from a Hoppe #9 big bottle I bought separately. The kit bottle has a convenient eyedropper tip, whereas Hoppe's doesn't.

I was looking at this, seems pretty nice. Seems like it can take a bit more of a beating since it's a hard case.

The Otis one is nice as well.

+1 for the Otis kit. I keep the little Tactical one in my range bag and I use the bigger elite kit at home. Works great.
