Ottis Cleaning Systems

[draftyranger]

I just got the Ottis Elite Cleaning System for christmas and was wondering what everyone thinks of this cleaning kit. It has every thing to clean pistols, rifles, shotguns and all calibers from .17 to .50! I am fairly impressed with it! What are your thoughts? Pros? Cons?

Thanks for the imput!

From all the reviews I've seen, they are pretty good kits. I wanted one but found them a little pricey

Re: Otis Cleaning Systems

The biggest advantage is that you won't harm the muzzle crown of the gun your cleaning.

Good product.

I used one overseas to maintain an M-16 rifle and an M-9 pistol and was very impressed with it. Very compact, stays organized, and does the job. I keep the kit in my BOB now.

I also liked telling people it was my tactical denture case (due to the shape I could often get people going with it).

I have 3 of them. Came with the gerber multitools and everything. Hands down the best pieces of equipment I own.

I have the same one. They are very nice comprehensive systems. As said earlier it won't put any wear on your muzzle crowns. They also pull unburnt powder and fowling away from the gun action.

Downside is their proprietary patches aren't cheap and it is a slower way to clean. Much faster when I was simply using a jag or brush and standard cleaning rod. But if you're not in a huge hurry they are very good systems.

Thanks for all the Imput! Sounds like the Ottis is a good piece of kit! Gonna have to go shooting soon so I can dirty up some guns so I can try my new cleaning kit on them! Thanks!

It is about all I use for at least the last 7 years. I don't bother with their cloth patches though. I just use regular patches.

Been using Otis for the last "long time" and am very happy with the pull through design. Quality parts last a long time.

Second on using regular patches (I cut my own square patches). Otis has instructions on their website on using square patches.

How to use square patches with the Otis cleaning system....
