Gun lubricant

[bronx1924]

Hi all... I use shooters choice FP-10 as my CLP, I was looking around at other manufacturer's to see if there might be something better to use. I came across a CLP called weapon shield and read some of the reviews, people are saying that this product is the best on the market hands down. Anybody use it? And what is your opinion of it

[FireMoose]

Never used it but I think Eezzox is the best hands down. I'd use it more if it were cheaper. I've found Tetra has been a fine but weird smelling lube.

Never used it. Everyone has their opinion as to what is "best". The best gun lube is the one that you use as a regular part of a good gun cleaning routine. I've used CLP for years and seen no appreciable wear in any of my guns, revolvers and semi-autos alike and they are used and cleaned very often. over 30k rnds through my 75 BD and it's as tight as can be.

The only products I won't use are the ones that require your firearm to be surgically clean before application and never to be used with anything else.

Are there products other than Froglube in that class?

I've been using Breakfree CLP for the last 30 years.

Fireclean directs you to use alcohol to degrease your firearm before applying their product.

Another Breakfree user here. But as has been pointed out, you're not going to get a general consensus on what brand. It's all personal choice. The only thing most of us will agree on is that CZ's like to run a little wet.
  Doesn't matter how clean your pistol is as long as you keep it wet. Just do a search on forum member JoeL and you'll see what I mean.

If you use FP-10, then you will like Weapon Shield as well.  FP-10 was created by George Fennel (insert long story here about being bought by Shooters Choice).  Weapon Shield is a better version, or newer version, of FP-10.  I have used both for a long time.

Lots of options and opinions on gun lubes. Am currently using Weapon Shield on my Sigs, Walthers and CZ P-01. Works well for me. My guns clean nicely and a little goes a long way. They have some interesting tests on Weapon Shield's lubricant properties posted on-line if you like that sort of information.

i just buy a small sample to try and make up my own mind.

what is good today may not be tomorrow.

I use tri flow, it works really well for me. It also seems to clean a little bit as it sits. I use it on my motorcycle, car locks, and a few others. Place I used to work sold alot of it to service men for door locks etc, one told me he uses it on his guns and really liked it so I tryed it and now that's mainly what I use. I've use motor oil, gear lube, ewl, fp-10, tetra, clp, gunzilla, and quite a few others and I like tri flow the best. Not saying it's the best, but it fits my needs the best.

Gun lubricant, it might be easier to discuss religion and politics 
I use frog lube myself.

I use grease (a moly mix from CGW or Weaponshield) on the slide and use Hornady OneShot everywhere else.
