Shooter’s Choice FP-10 CLP, by smell, was what my BIL identified as his go-to when he was a SEAL. That cinched it for me in a most unscientific but reassuring way. I’m sure there are several very close in formulation but it has a distinct odor and while it may not be the end-all be-all it’s worked for decades.
Im sure Lucas is eager to develop new markets considering what shooters spend on oz of oil so no surprise it’s available, and I don’t doubt it works fine, but I wouldn’t pay a premium.

Cleaning at home, I don't need combination products, I clean with M-Pro 7, lube with whatever oil and grease fall readily to hand, and if I want more protection than an oily cloth, apply Corrosion X.
My only Lucas product is a sampler of their oil which is good for my Colt Ace .22 floating chamber.

If you mean that red Lucas gun oil, I tried it and didn't care for it. It was too thin and crept too much.
I tried the regular Lucas gun oil that looks like 3in1, and it wasn't bad but wasn't worth any extra over 3in1.

Haven't tried their gun care products but, if they are on a par with their automotive products, they should be top-notch.

I am using it. I used to use BreakFree, but on Amazon Lucas was less expensive. So I tried it. When you squeeze some out. It. It a bluish green color. Once applied you cannot see that. In have been using it for a few month.s . It does what CLP is supposed to do. I will buy it again because I (Scrooge) like to save money.
Haven't used the CLP, the "ED" gun oil is very good, grease is good, but a little runny to suit me.
M Pro7 cleaner is great, leaves things squeaky clean, needs oil afterwards.

that's what I am looking at the main ones I see locally are Lucas and Breakfree , and some small amounts of others at times
I just want to go in my local store and know what I am using is in stock instead of ordering online

I use Lucas products for my truck, but I agree with Skylerbone here; I'm sure they are as fine products as their automotive ones are, but I'm not shelling out the $ for the name. I still have plenty of bottles of various lubes from years of trying different ones, dealer samples from working in gun shops, and from SWMBO who buys cleaning kits for me when she finds them at garage sales, which also has yielded a small collection of older oil/solvent cans.

I got a bottle of the greenish Lucas gun oil somewhere. I like it, it’s thick enough to not completely run out when it gets piping hot down here and so far I haven’t had a lubrication related issue using it.
I have no idea if it’s any better than any other stuff, but I’ll keep using it.
Stay safe.

I had a tube of the oil, and thought I had bought the CLP as well. I just looked and it is Amzoil cleaner and protectant. I was looking for an alternative to Hoppes for a quick cleanup. I keep going back though.... old habits.
