Okay forget the “kit” (pre-made) and build your own. For what you have, this is my suggestion:
Buy a .22 boresnake this will cover your .22, 223, and a few other calibers (like 5.45x39 if you choose to get an AK74 in the future). Use this for a quick clean after a day at the range. You could also pick one up for other calibers as well for a quick clean.
Buy a few one piece cleaning rods . I prefer Dewey one piece brass rods with the handles. Probably a shortish one for your .45 and long shotgun rod for the 12gauge. For the .22 and .223 I’d get a stainless model just because it’s slightly harder to bend with it being such a small diameter.
Next get a jag kit . You will need to purchase the 12gauge jag separately.
Buy some cotton swabs to use with the jags/cleaning rods. I haven’t found any that I’ve been happy with where price & quality meet so just try some that look decent. Maybe someone else will chirp in & help me out here.
You could also grab a few brushes that would thread into your cleaning rods. I never end up using them since I can get most everything out with the jags.
Ballistol this is the best (obviously this is a personal opinion but I love the stuff).
A few old toothbrushes for any nasty grim you come across
A big pack of Q-tips (that brand, other brands leave tons of fuzzies )
Old rags
This is my routine: run a cotton swab soaked in Ballistol down the barrel & let soak -> wipe off any major dirt & debris with an old rag then with Q-tips & toothbrush if necessary (break down firearms far as needed for adequate cleaning) -> clean dirty areas with a Ballistol soaked Q-tip then follow up with dry Q-tips and rags -> run two dry cotton swabs down the barrel one after the other -> if last patch comes out clean then that’s done, if not do one wet & two dry again -> if all is well & clean you can reassemble (ensure there is no Q-tip fuzz stuck anywhere) & you’re done.
If this was extremely basic & you are far above this little guide, I am sorry. I did not search for the absolute lowest prices so the links provided are simply a quick reference. Hopefully some of this is helpful
TLDR: Boresnakes, one piece cleaning rods, jags, optional brushes, cotton patches, Ballistol, Q-tips, toothbrush, rags, then I gave my cleaning routine.
