Patch Size For 9mm?

[KJS]

Hey:

Looking to pick up some cleaning patches in preparation for my new Springfield XD-9's homecoming. I'm still a relative n00b to firearms, so forgive this question - what size patches work for 9mm caliber?

I'm assuming 35-45 caliber sizes, based on measurements, but I want to check with the helpful folks at Calguns first.

Yes, those are correct.

I would say save your money on the patches and just buy yourself a boresnake. Much better than patches.

[KJS]

@burair - Planning on getting a boresnake, but I want to get a few patches to do thorough cleaning every so often.

Yeah, do both, it doesn't compare when using a boresnake and patches rather than just one or the other.
