There are only two brands of patches I'll use and this is one of them. When it comes to .223/5.56 I think this is the best choice out there. It has a consistant fit, not too tight and not too loose. I've tried many other brands that the quality control lacked enough that I had to trim every patch to fit it down .223 barrel. Pro Shot has never let me down after years and many bags of patches. Try them and I believe you'll like them.
Bought these to clean my 9mm and 5.56. They fit well for 9mm. I cut them in half for .22lr and 5.56. I’ve also use them on 12 gauges. I did want to spend extra money buying patches for multiple calibers. Will buy again.
I like the feel of these patches as they are thick and each individual patch can clear up a lot of dirt before having to discard. As with all flannel patches, it does leave a little bit behind but I vastly prefer these to gauze-like patches which are too flimsy and thin as these pro-shot patches do a much better job of soaking up carbon fouling, dirt, grime, left-over lubricant, etc. I use this to clean my 9mm pistol and 12 gauge shotgun with great efficiency.
I bought Pro-Shot after being very disappointed with Hoppe's patches. And in the end, Pro-Shot patches were much much cheaper in actual use. Hoppe's are so small and thin, that I needed to use THREE patches for a decent fit in my bores. With Pro-Shot...you need only one to do the job. And just today, after having found out the truth from earlier cleaning sessions, I was disappointed, at first, with today's Pro-Shot cleaning session...that is until I figured out that I had neglected to switch out my Dewey cleaning rods from the narrower sticks I use for cleaning a .243 caliber to the proper, thicker sized rods appropriate for my .308 caliber. After the switch, I was back to using just ONE Pro-Shot patch, instead of the typical 2.5 to 3 Hoppes patches for a decent swipe. "Go with the 'Pro's!'" :)
While I’m still not quite sure whether I prefer these over the jersey/t-shit material patches I was using before (The Professional’s Choice brand), they seem to do pretty good job. They are the thickest patches I’ve used, which definitely gives them superior absorption, and the flannel texture is great at scrubbing and grabbing up fouling. As a few others have mentioned, and as is typical with most any flannel patch, they do have some fraying at the edges, and can leave behind a *small* amount of lint in the barrel (not enough to actually be a problem, but worth noting). While it’s difficult to tell for sure, I think overall they do just a bit better job at cleaning out the bore, so I’ll probably stick with them. If you are someone who is concerned with any amount of lint leftover, I’d highly recommend the brand of jersey patches mentioned above instead.
I have used other patches sold here on Amazon, but recently decided to try the Pro Shot 2 ½ round patches, and they are far superior. Below is a photo of the two respective patches, and note the difference in quality between the Pro Shot and the other brand when viewing the clean cut edges of the Pro Shot patches as opposed to the other brand. Also, because the Pro Shot’s are finished on both sides, they absorb better, and you can even get extra usage out of them by turning them over as you get toward the end of cleaning the gun’s barrel. I highly recommend this product.
What can I say? They are good patches. Made in America out of good cloth, not like some imports that use a synthetic fabric blend cloth. I have 2" round, 2½" square, 3" square and the small ones for the .223 caliber. Great stuff and cheap enough to use one time and toss; get a clean one for the next pass. No picture, they are cleaning patches and nothing unique about them. Always get the cotton flannel ones as they absorb well and do not stretch.
I use the 3" patches for my 12 gauge and M1911. The patches are exactly 3" square. One side is slightly softer and fuzzier than the other, but I use both sides. I use 3 patches (both sides), over bore brushes to clean, remove residue, and lubricate the bores. They do produce some lint, but it usually ends up on my cleaning pad and isn't a problem. I haven't found a better product for the job at $14.99+FS for 500 count bag. Would recommend and buy again.
I use these 2" cotton patches religiously to clean my 12 gauge shotguns. They are relatively cheap and they work great. Relatively "lint" free too. They hold together well under rough scrubbing and rubbing. I typically use a toothbrush or copper wire brush with these and they can handle the abuse. I use Hoppes Number 9 bore cleaner with them and haven't had any issues yet.
Bought these for my 9mm and fit well, though I will probably go up a 1/4" next time around for an even better fit. No issues and can highly recommend, though there might be slightly cheaper alternatives. Too quality.

Thicker and better than thin gauze patches; each individual patch lasts longer
I like the feel of these patches as they are thick and each individual patch can clear up a lot of dirt before having to discard. As with all flannel patches, it does leave a little bit behind but I vastly prefer these to gauze-like patches which are too flimsy and thin as these pro-shot patches do a much better job of soaking up carbon fouling, dirt, grime, left-over lubricant, etc. I use this to clean my 9mm pistol and 12 gauge shotgun with great efficiency.
