Work great in a .45 - Otis Technology 3in Panoply Patches

I got some of these in an Otis 9mm to.45 caliber pistol cleaning kit, the one with a short length of memory flex cable, that was a free gift from my LGS with a new 9mm. The first time I tried one in the 9mm it got stuck in the chamber and only came up with a bit of manipulation after disassembling the pistol. Actually the regular sized Otis all caliber patches work fine with 9mm and .38 caliber guns but I just wanted to try them in the new 9mm, since they are rated for that. Later on I tried them in a .45 1911 pistol and found that these are perfect for that caliber, while the regular all caliber patches just slip through hardly touching the sides of a .45 in my experience, even with the tightest knot. So I ordered a supply of the panoply patches for my .45s from Optics Planet. Nowadays I am using the Otis system including the Otis solvent for a quick clean-up at the range without disassembling pistols, while the barrels are still warm. This seems to get a fair amount of the carbon fouling up before I do a field strip and more thorough cleaning at home and there are no concerns about bristles, old crud or broken cords, as with other quick cleaning methods.
