New to USCCA, this forum, and firearm ownership. Any recommendations for a cleaning towel to clean your firearm. I have solutio and line but was looking for recommendations for a good reusable towel to clean. And is a gun mat necessary?
Still searching for a level 1 otw holster for an sig p365 x macro ) just looking for a thumb button that releases the firearm, not the level 2 system with the “hood”.
Are special towels needed? I just use…towels.
Old Tee Shirts work for me. I can use them in one piece or adjust the size as needed.
Any form of physical retention is at least a level 2. Try cutting and pasting this into Amazon: “sig p365 owb level 2 holster”. Read the product reviews until you find what you are looking for. And don’t worry, by the time you end up with a dresser full of holsters that didn’t quite work out you will be that much closer to your goal!
T shirts are better than towels - less lint.
Microfiber cloths. Cheapest and the best for cleaning.
However I prefer single use blue paper towel. I don’t bother washing or smelling old towels / clothes.
I cut up an old, worn cotton flannel sheet. Works well (no lint problem), can be washed and re-used. Just don’t use any fabric softener.
For a reusable gun cleaning towel you might want to try automotive shop rags/towels, both deal with lubricants, and grim, and might be suitable without being expensive.
Repurposed warn out tee-shirts, hand, or bath towels cut down might also work.
Same-thing with placemats that are no longer presentable for the dinner table could also be repurposed.
Don’t have to spend a lot of money unless you are producing a Gunsmith Shop reality TV show; it doesn’t have to look fancy.
Great to know thanks

Bart My Brother,
WELCOME TO THE FOLD
You are right where you are suppose to be.

Sounds straight forward.
At one point, I picked up a new yoga mat at a discount first-hand shop for like $3 with the intent of using it as a cleaning mat… before I unrolled it and found it to be unsuitable for chemical dribbles. Now it goes UNDER the sleeping pad when car camping in super cold weather, LOL
I ended up just cleaning on the picnic table outside with a piece of paper towel under the dribbly areas, and then really cleaned up afterwards.
Thanks for the wisdom!
Gerber Birdseye cotton diapers from the baby dept at Target are my choice for cleaning firearms, cars, musical instruments, etc…
I go through a package a year.
Old tees work well, but diapers absorb more as well they should.
Also, there’s no lint after they’ve been laundered.
Or, you can use construction strength large trash bags fold or cut to size you don’t want gun cleaning fluid or lubricant soaking through and messing any work surfaces up.
There are a lot of work arounds, just use a paper plate if that’s adequate.
WHAT? You have to clean yer Guns?..Nobody told me! 
Another thought, not to become a hoarder but, just enough for upcoming jobs, take out food containers, or pizza boxes, just cleaned out, or wiped enough not to be messy to work with while gun cleaning, and then dispose of it vs. having that to clean unless it’s something you want to reuse.
When mine get too dirty to function I trade them in for new ones, like when a Mercedes gets a flat tire, trade it in on a new one. 
GREAT MINDS THINK ALIKE! I was on the THRONE and I chuckled (I do that a lot!)'When my Guns get too dirty I throw them away and go to my .gov and say I am a Poor Middle Class White Migrant and I need New Gat’s! (works like a charm!)
You forgot ‘middle class’
Corrected!" ARGH!
