►ABOUT OTIS
Otis Technology was born in 1985 when our founder, a 16-year-old Doreen Garrett, fell into cold mud while deer hunting with her father. The barrel of her grandfather’s Model 94 Winchester was full of mud and the day's hunt was over.
That day sparked the beginning of an endeavor to create a smarter solution to a problem every hunter, soldier, shooter, and firearm owner has encountered. On that day, Doreen had a vision for innovating gun care. That is where we began, in the mud, pulled down by our roots to reveal a tireless drive to create a quality product that will serve the men and women that depend on their firearms to feed their families and protect our country. Now, it is our uncompromising purpose and the big picture reason why we show up to work every day.
At Otis, our mission is to rethink and redefine gun care, giving gun owners better and smarter ways to keep their most cherished firearms in the best condition possible. That’s why our products are American-made and backed by a No-Nonsense Guarantee.
We are #AmericasGunCare.

[@richardcabello5028]

What was the MC-7 bore cleaner on the right hand side of the screen there for. He never used it for the demonstration. If not, why have it in the video?

[@paulfuelling6829]

Informative, though black pistol in front of black shirt does not provide good contrast to fully see the process

[@pdxxmatt]

If u dont clean all the cleaner off ur gun might that be the reason why it builds rust? I cleaned my gun and came back to look at it a day or 2 later and it had orange dust on it like a rust type residue but it wiped right off. Was it because i didnt take all the gun cleaner off the slide left it kinda wet?

[@OtisTechnology]

This depends on what you were using. What were you using? With FP10 CLP or O85 CLP you do not have to wipe it off but you should remove excess that you don't want on your hands, clothes or in your holster. CLP cleans lubricates and protects from rust. If you're using "cleaner" like a Quick Scrub type of product you need to apply CLP after because it is taking away all lubricant along with the fouling and debris. Bore cleaner shouldn't be used on the exterior of the firearm; it is intended for the bore only and should be followed by a lubricant, such as CLP.

[@luisjuarez1200]

For glock 19 Gen 3 19mm using round 3 inch Otis cotton patch.... Do you use one or two patches at a time to clean inside of bore?

[@OtisTechnology]

2 patches are ideal but you can get by with 1; if you use the Panoply patch you only need 1 becuase they are very thick.

[@luisjuarez1200]

@@OtisTechnology thank you for the reply. Just noticed that I had a type error... 19mm should have been 9mm. You probably figured that out. Thanks again.... I used two patches initially but felt really tight. Just did not want to damage the bore.

[@Blackpearlsi99]

does the copper bore brush scratch the inside of the barrel? should I use the bore brush that comes with the Glock?

[@jcastle614]

Lots of people just prefer one over the other, nylon bristle brush works fine, I personally like the copper bristles ,copper is much softer than the steel your barrel is made from, so it won't scratch (damage) your barrel. Nylon bristle are just cheaper to manufacture than the more traditional copper ones. Either will be fine, just keep your firearm clean it's the most important thing. Hope that helps you out. Good shooting!!

[@OtisTechnology]

The brass bore brush is softer than steel and will not cause any damage. The Otis Professional Cleaning Kit for Glocks comes with 3 bronze & 3 nylon bore brushes

[@cullen2106]

Are you hiring Right now or not at all?

[@flywithmeify]

Cleaner needs to be on patch on all sides of patch. If barrel has lots of rounds through it may want to presoak inside barrel and let it sit for a while.

[@JJ_LL]

The ripcord is that thorough???

[@OtisTechnology]

Yes, Ripcord is a very effective bore cleaner.

[@anotherperfectdayinparadis7249]

Heh…. Wait wait wait. You clean your glock?

[@OtisTechnology]

Yes of course, You should clean and lubricate all firearms to ensure they work properly when you need them to.
