What size swatch

[pawpawof3]

Got me a new Glock 17 Gen 4 yesterday and I went to Wally World to get some cleaning patches.All they had were shotgun or bulk cut your own size,so I thinks i'll go somewhere else.I walk by the fabric section and a display caught my eye.A big pile of remnants for $1.50 a yard,which is 60" x 36" and there and behold was a rem of white 100% cotton T-shirt material so I got me a yard.Now that I have bored you I will get to the question I have,what size patch do I need to cut to run down the tube on a 9mm to do a good job cleaning it?

I use baby wipes. Cut to about 1.5" squares.

This is what I do....essentially,it's the same materials. You can make em whatever size you want.

Really? Just put solvent on them or are they good as is?

Just as is. Next time you clean your Glock wipe it down with a baby wipe when you are done. You will be amazed all the carbon you missed that the baby wipe picked up.
