Weapon Shield

[Gunnerdad80]

I‘ve been lookin at videos about Weapon Shield gun cleaning and lubrication products and this stuff seems pretty nice. They claim it will reduce trigger pull by 1/2 to 1 pound. Anyone have any personal experience with it?

Is it infused with microscopic ball bearings made of tungsten that are hardened then annealed to an optimum level for firearms use?

Weapon Shield gun cleaning and lubrication products are the best when it comes to cleaning firearm back to spanking new.

I ran a thread about this several months ago on a shotgun forum that started out talking about Slip 2000. Got some very interested responses, all favorable.  I now use the CLP on O/U forend iron/receiver and the grease on trunnions...good stuff.  Will definitely use on slide/frame of pistols.  Hard to tell if it is the magic bullet or not, but seems to be excellent for high wear areas.

Nothing magical there. I believe it is mostly personal experience, how often you shoot and clean.
I tested several products (yeah, that was a crazy time when I started shooting and want to find the perfect solvents and lubricants) and didn't find anything special with their lube.
Cleaning solvent is pretty good, made my firearm really clean. However I found other product easier and more efficient for cleaning process.

I've been using it since 2002-2003, something like that. It was called Fire Power back then.

Not magical but it does work.

Works fine, I use it.

FTR- haven't found a single ball bearing in my oil though.

As I understand it the same guy that invented FP-10 (Fire Power) later sold the company and invented Weapon Shield. He had become disgusted at what FP-10 and that company had become. By all accounts he’s a certified genius in the field of lubrication chemistry and technology. It’s funny because he just looks like an old biker my dad used to hang out with. Never judge a book though right?


The main selling point for me is it’s non-toxic and safe to use in the home. I have a 6 & 2 year old and worry about using anything that is an inhalation hazard or that can leave a toxic residue behind. I was originally looking at Frog Lube and Weapon Shield both for those reasons. The Weapon Shield was the winner for me in price and performance. The Frog Lube looked really good too though. I ordered the Weapon Shield 4oz kit so we’ll see. I’m considering buying a trigger pull gauge to do my own tests.

Non-toxic, bio degradable... doesn't matter. If you have kids at home and you care about them - clean your firearm in well ventilated environment. None of cleaning products are safe.

I agree with you for the most part. But, sometimes it’s just me and the kids at home and it just has to get done. Also I worked for about 15 years professionally as a heavy equipment and automotive mechanic and in tool maintenance and it wreaked havoc on my hands so non-toxic choices are a Godsend. I can’t always wear gloves when working with small parts either so that’s another plus.

4 oz kit!!!!! Not sure what I'd do with that......maybe soak a rag with it. LOL!!!
We buy ours buy the gallon, no less than a quart. 

Not sure about reducing trigger pull???  But none the less...it does a good job for us.

Let us know what you think about it after trying it out for awhile.

I figured I’d try a smaller amount to see if I like it first.

I figured so...I'm just acting a fool.   

And Yes, when your have to clean inside, the smell is much better. Ask my Wife!!!

I had a bottle of that FP-10 many years ago... seemed to work okay.  I just looked it up, and it appears to be owned by Shooter's Choice now.

My boys are 14 and 16 now... they are educated on gun safety and not bad with a pistol or a rifle.  They see me carrying a metal pan full of gun parts out on the patio to de-grease with acetone, then come back in to put on gloves, goggles, and a mask before going back out and spraying them down with Eezox.  I have also explained to them about the trichloroethylene in Eezox and what nasty effects it can have on humans who touch or breathe it.

Of course these days I'm wearing the same stuff at the grocery store.  Strange days we're living in.
