I like Ballistol. Hoppes chemicals mess with my skin.

My wife banned hoppes #9 from the house. they make a hoppes that has no smell though.

Another Ballistol use. Have tried others but always seem to go back to it. Have used for a number of years.

Use frog Lube on everything but my LCR and LC9s Pro. ( Ruger doesn't approve FL ) I love the stuff.

Have been using a CLP (FP10) since it was deemed the " preferred" product for cleaning the issued weapon. Before that I used Breakfree on everything (also a CLP). I guess what I'm saying is, I have never used one product to clean, and one to lubricate and protect....do I need to rethink my post-range protocol?

No, but I think a good test for you would be next time you shoot, clean with clp as you normally do. Then next day sop the bore with hoppes and let it sit 15 min. I think you will find there is a ton of black crap that will come out. I did this and now use clp for quicky cleaning, but hoppes if I'm serious about a deep clean

All I use is Breakfree CLP. I have used it for years.
I'm going to have to give Ballistol a try.

I've used Ballistol and like it. Use CLP as well and like it. I think way too much is put into brand than purpose.
Try and compare. See what you see as a difference for your needs and pick it. You won't be wrong no matter which you choose unless your in weather below -40.

I'm using Ballistol now. It's good stuff

Me too! I've started using it on my 1911, AR-15 and my Polymer pistols as well. It takes all the grime off, penetrates, and lubricates all of my firearms perfectly! Not to mention, Hicock45 swears by the stuff.

I use CLP. Hoppe's vapors gives me a headache.

What would be a good product to use on the exterior of the slide. Looking for something that gives a deeper looking color and shine.

Kroil oil

Ballistol has a terrible smell to it for me. I have it but it just stinks to much.
