Otis 3-Gun Competition Cleaning SystemNow that you have all the 3-Gun gear to compete, training, or just have fun in a more casual setting, you will still need to clean those 3-guns as some point. Typically most people use 5.56MM rifles, 9MM, 40 & 45 caliber pistols and 12 gauge shotguns, so Otis Technology started offering a great compact little kit that still delivers full in depth comprehensive cleaning. Now you only need just one cleaning kit for everything in your kit and it will even clean your .22LR rifles and pistols as well. THe Otis 3-Gun Competition Cleaning System is designed to clean all 5.56MM rifles, 9MM, 40 and; 45 caliber pistols and 12 gauge shotguns.
There has been a trend in the market away from long screw together rod based cleaning systems to pull-through designs utilizing cord or some type of nylon sheathed aircraft cable. The Otis MPSR Cleaning system is the later based on their Memory-Flex cables. The reason the industry is moving away from traditional rod based bore cleaning systems is that they can be very hard on the barrel and rifling which ultimately impact accuracy. The less a metal rod is banging down the bore the better.
Another reason the Otis system can decrease bore or crown damage is that the Memory-Flex rods flex during use which means the user is not torquing a stiff rod against a crown or breech edge. Pulling the Otis cable through the bore also delivers a more even cleaning because a patch is pulled and not compressed against the cleaning rod. When a cleaning patch is pushed down the bore it compressed unevenly against the cleaning rod and leads to unevenly cleaning. The Otis system just drags a uniformly tight patch down the bore which also cleans the breech area more thoroughly as well.
What I liked about this cleaning system is that it works really well and can be the same easy-to-use compact system you use in the field for a quick cleaning or a detailed bench cleaning at home. It not only has all the brushes and patch loops you would expect, but it has all the tiny little detail and gunk picking tools you would not expect in a cleaning kit that is roughly 2"H x4" round in size. Every little part is also premium quality and not just a bunch of sub par cleaning tools someone stuck into a kit. With Otis, you are getting one of the highest grade cleaning kits I have seen. You still have all the same level of quality cleaning tools without any added bulk or need for additional cleaning equipment.FINAL THOUGHTS
Otis makes and assembles all of their products in the USA. If that wasn't cool enough, they are also family owned and operated as well. I love rooting for the little guy when they are doing all the things right. In this case Otis is delivering an affordable, compact and extremely high quality cleaning system that has a place at home or in the field for the .22LR, 5.56MM rifles, 9MM, 40 & 45 caliber pistols and 12 gauge shotgun shooter.
