Amerflyer48 Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 1/4” threaded rod inside thin walled rubber tubing all bought at Lowe’s or HD gun barrel length +3” I have an aluminum Kubotan from Monadnock as a key ring it is 6” x 1/4” diameter and threaded for brushes have had it for 30+ years Mas Ayoob used to suggest them to his 4” carry gun crowd and I can say it works great.

Amerflyer48 Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 A few steel cleaning rod sections and a 25ACP or .32 casing epoxied on one end and some tubing at the joints to act as a barrel guide and the casing goes up against the loved bullet ?

HoMiE Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 I carry a 28” carbon arrow with ferrel at both ends. I’ve neber had a squib but I have had a bullet pull out of case and it does the trick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlayFront36 Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 I just got a brass rod from Lowe's and cut to length. I think the minimum was 12" but you could get any size they had. Some want a thicker diameter to avoid deflection and the longer you go the more I would agree with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AHI Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 (edited) wooden rod put it in the case with gun (5/16) put a 9mm case on end you hit on Edited March 25, 2019 by AHI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MemphisMechanic Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 (edited) Slide it down the barrel for ultimate compact storage. Also... to be frank, I’ve had exactly one squib in 12 years of reloading 50-100k rounds, and it was 50 rounds after installing my bulletfeeder while figuring things out. I haven’t had a squib rod of any kind in the 4,000 rounds I’ve shot PCC with. I am just now realizing I don’t have a squib rod long enough, as I read this, because it’s just not a factor. What are you doing reloadingwise that has you so squib-conscious? In the ultra-rare event that I have one on the road, I’m pretty sure I could round one up from a fellow shooter in an emergency.
