I use patches for wiping down my gun parts during cleaning.
The ProShot patches I use leave a large amount of lint on the gun.
Are there any patches that don't leave any or as much lint behind as the ProShot patches?
Thanks.

That is the same brand I use but I do not have a lint problem. Patches are cheap, just try another brand.
A good option I used to find - apart from the commercial lint-free stuff I used to get - is bed linen. Either pillow slips or worn out sheets.
These, if good cotton, will be lint-free usually and if cut up into approx 2"x4" pieces will serve nicely. Also - some t-shirt material is good too - a fitting way to use up discarded t-shirts!

old t-shirts work well. but, store patches are cheap. try a different brand.
but after using patches, I do use pieces of old T-shirts for a final 'run through'...
Stay safe!

During my ccw class, I was told that if you are going to use a t-shirt etc ,to use only 100% cotton oterwise it wont pick up the grime...
