I just had a squib in my Ruger P95. Do I need to take it to a smith or can I just use a aluminum cleaning rod and a hammer and vice?

This, repeated over and over again. Hollow aluminum cleaning rods are just gonna bend and deform, and wood is right out; solid brass is best.Use a brass rod. Never use wood, it will splinter and make it worst. Most cleaning rods may not be strong enough without getting damaged.
DO NOT USE WOOD. . .

Got the wood. Got the dead fall hammer. What I can't find locally is a brass rod. About 8 mm right?

I just ordered a 3/8" aluminum rod from Amazon. It was about the same cost as a 36" long 3/8" rod from Home Depot. I needed to clear a .45acp squib.Got the wood. Got the dead fall hammer. What I can't find locally is a brass rod. About 8 mm right?

I'm pretty sure 4" will never be long enough . . .Will 100 mm/4 inch be long enough?
