I use this rod https://www.amazon.com/Gunslick-Handgun-Carbon-Fiber-Cleaning/dp/B001NOVF92
and just some generic bronze brushes like this https://www.amazon.com/Gunslick-Bore-Cleaning-Brush/dp/B004NJC1ME/ref=pd_lpo_200_lp_tr_t_3?_encoding=UTF8&refRID=2PA7VYF9QHZ5KMSS97E3&th=1&psc=1
and use this to send a few pieces of cloth through until they come out clean https://www.amazon.com/Gunslick-Brass-Benchrest-Handgun-Caliber/dp/B004NJDG14/ref=pd_sim_200_4?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B004NJDG14&pd_rd_r=9TTKD0XDXN2KSBS2TNRK&pd_rd_w=K2pUv&pd_rd_wg=CIoxr&psc=1&refRID=9TTKD0XDXN2KSBS2TNRK
Basically I just clean the bore after 1000 or so rounds and use a toothpick/cloth to clean the slide channels and lightly oil them. I use M7Pro cleaning stuff and oil just because I can find it at most stores around here and it doesn't smell or irritate my skin. There really is no sense in pulling the trigger and all that stuff out unless it starts sticking or you have run 5k or 10k rounds through it.
Just to cover everything these are the cloth pieces i use too https://www.amazon.com/Professionals-Choice-Cleaning-800-Pack-357-Calibre/dp/B00KJLTONO/ref=sr_1_5?s=sporting-goods&ie=UTF8&qid=1484333214&sr=1-5&keywords=gun+cleaning+patches

Ballistol is great, here is what I use:
I use them pretty much in that order. If I could buy only 1 thing from the list, it would be the nitrile gloves. All the gun cleaning solvents are super toxic, nitrile is better than latex for solvents. Latex won't stop some solvents. Ballistol is the second best thing, then Gunslick Ultra Klenz is my next favorite. The Outer's Crud Crutter removes all of the above solvents, I use it when I'm done cleaning with Ultra Klenz and CR-10 because it removes the solvents and dries leaving the gun bone dry. Then I apply a drop of grease at friction points and give it an all over polishing with Ballistol.
I have bought kits and I have bought individual bits. The individual bits are the best deal as you can get what you need.
So I am a big fan of FrogLube CLP for its lubricating and Protecting capabilities. base one This test You can read that over and figure out what you like from there as well.
For barrel Cleaning. Kroil is a good penetrating oil for getting under carbon and lead and helping to lift them off.
Hoppe #9 bore cleaner is a classic and seems to work well for getting copper out. Usually alternate between the Kroil and Hoppes to get both the copper and carbon fouling removed.
I also use a mix of Bore Brushes and Jags
This may be controversial but I prefer stainless steel cleaning rod to the plastic coated or aluminum rods. I believe they are less likely to damage the barrel.
Other than that there are lots of options with big debates over the best way of cleaning your gun and the best stuff to use. Good luck
Use this every time you go to the range, use it frequently
Every once in long while, several hundred rounds, go through and do a deep clean to remove copper and whatnot:
That's it for me.
