No, It is just like the orginal only you have the jag installed... Same length so it does bottom out with out a load. I carry a small "T" handle with me for patching. While hunting I know I can get 2 or three shots if necessary without patching. Really I have almost given up on that real quick second shot so i just have the "t" handle in vest pocket go ahead and run a spit patch and the reload...
I am not sure that TC's power rod would be any better because the handle would already be there but you would still need to screw on a jag.
With mine if I need to reload "now" I can - and I do not get enough fouling to prevent an immediate reload.
