There’s something truly nostalgic about the smell of iconic Hoppe’s No. 9 for many competitive shooters, practical ones included.

The gun care product manufacturer and USPSA (United States Practical Shooting Association) both know how much of a great fit the two organizations are for each other. As such, they have recently announced that Hoppe’s is now the official USPSA gun cleaning product.

USPSA pits participants against shooters of similar skill levels in distinct divisions. It is one of the most popular shooting organizations in the country. Recently they added Steel Challenge events into the fold.

After 115 years in the business, Hoppe’s No. 9 is still a popular choice for consumers looking for a solid remover of powder, lead and rust. The full line of Hoppe’s products includes lines such as the Black, Traditional, Gun Medic, Elite, Bore Snakes as well as cleaning kits and tools.
