What is the difference between a patch holder and a "jag", which is preferred?

the patch holder is for a patch to fit into and hold it in place to be pushed in the barrel and pulled back out .the jag is just a point on the end to push the patch in the barrel to the other end and it just layes in the gun so you have to pull it out with a pick or something

The patch holder holds the patch so you can push and pull the same patch in the bore and a jag can only push the patch through the barrel once

a patch holder ends in a kind of oval-ish shape with a slot in it, and you thread the clean patch through this slot much like you'd thread a needle.a jag is an implement onto which you would essentially impale a clean patch. as such, they usually have a pointy end immediately followed by a few grooves that keep the patch in place while you swab the bore.so, same purpose, but slightly different tool. do a Google Image search on 'patch holder' and then 'jag cleaner', and you will see the difference. i do not know if one is truly any better than the other.

A patch holder holds a piece of cloth to run inside the barrel. It can be used with many different calibers, this model works with .22 thru .45. A Jag is sized to have a tight fit with the cleaning cloth in one specific caliber. I generally use both when cleaning, the patch holder first, to loosen deposits in the barrel. Then the jag to deep clean. Then the patch holder again to oil the barrel.

patch holder hase a whole in the end where you canput a pice of cloth or patch for cleaning, Jag soesn't have a whole what is not holded the patch. To clean on the range it's good jag. For profecional cleaning at home the best is patch holder.

no idea...contact jag service/parts and ask them. I'm sure production was only one type of leaper but I would make sure with a dealer.

Polimer is a plastic frame. I modified the holstet by having a thumb break sewn on, the holster was a bit loose in securing the weapon for my taste especially being in the woods. I enjoy the. 5 round holder on the side but a bit loose fot the 45 colt, have to push them all the way down

They are very good quality patches. After quality, the size of the patch relative to the caliper/diameter (and to a certain extend the length) of your barrel matters. I'm using them to clean my 9mm Glock pistol. I bought larger (and more expensive) slotted round patches ("Otis All Caliper Cleaning Patches") to clean my 16 inch carbine barrel.

David: On my gun, the grips will clear the HKS speed loader. I have the "skinny" cylinder latch, which is current production. Might be a problem on older J-frame guns.

No. It won't fit. I think this might be the one you need "JAGS 18PAN" try searching that on yahoo. I found it listed on veryasia.com for $54.99

Not much difference, I like thumb hole to pistol grip. It is what ever your preference is. If you look closely you will see that the axiom is just a tad bit longer than the ibex. I am 6'4" and found out the ibex could be just a bit longer. No problem you can get extenders. So choose either one, both will be one of the best purchases you have made. Oh one more thing buy the bolt cutter broad heads. People get all caught up in Fps, just practice and shoot, and you are good. 280fps or 330 Fps, at 30 yards the animal is dead in just over one second. I have shot deer for 50 years with gun, bow, muzzle loader, and it is human error, not how fast or how powerful. Practice!

"Better" would be an opinion. If you put or have rounds in strips the strip reloader is faster. If they are not in strips they are about the same speed, this one(speed loader) may be faster. This speed loader is a better unloader tho for sure.

For the price, it's worth a try. I have 3 rods, a Hoppe's, a Gunslick and one unknown picked up somewhere.The tip fits 2 of them but with mix and matching the rods over many years, I can't say for sure which is which.The patch tip and the jag tip fit the same.Yes- MUCH better than the plastic tips found today.

I have them both and they are both very sturdy however, the detachable pouches are a pain in the butt when they are full of loaded mags. They tend to seperate from the case and flop around when being carried to the field or range. I much prefer the cases being sown on. If you don't plan on removing the pouches I would go with the sown on. I will next time if I need another case. Hope this helps.

I have not tried it on a jag yet. If you do try it and it works please let me know so I may try it too. Sometimes when you put the patch thru twice or more it does come undone.

The strap portion of the mount is simply a hose clamp with a rubber sleeve that will clamp to something up to 3.15" in diameter. Using a larger hose clamp from an auto parts store should give you the ability to clamp to a larger diameter if necessary. Stock TJ bars appear to be 1.725" and 2.25", aftermarket could be larger.

I've tried these with my mosin and k31 with a tipton standard jag and they will not fit with out trimming about 1/4" from 2 sides. I plan on getting some 1 3/4" patches, which should fit better.

Sorry, Adam, but I purchased this as a gift for my son-in-law so I have no idea if it has the "patch" you are talking about. I didn't even take it out of the box...sorry I couldn't help.

The ball holder is part of the mounting assembly that allows you to position your holder in many different ways. This is much.better than the fixed positioning methods used on other holders that limit your mounting options.

Mine Came With The Belt Holder Attachment . These Are Made By Blackhawk! You Should Be Able To Order Just The Belt attachment. Then You Would Have Rwo Holsters In one.

The patch sizes vary per caliber (generally) with the unique (patented?) folded insertion offering great cleaning contact. I would not recommend trying to use cheap "regular" patchers with the system - you will spend more time trying to re-engineer the wheel that Otis has already engineered very well, if not to perfection.
