Inexpensive Testing
I you truly aren't sure what to use, buy small bottles of each product. I know I can buy a 1oz bottle of Breakfree, 1 oz bottle of FP-10 for about $5-6 (or less). Buy one of each, and maybe a small bottle of MPro7, small can of Tetra spray, etc. I think you can do this for under $25 or so.
Then test them. That is what I did over about 3 months time, though I probably could have done it in a shorter time period.
With MPro7, you will like that it cleans very well. Here's the rub: that's all it does. It does not lube, and it does not protect. Now you are into having 2 or more products for cleaning & lubing your gun.
With Tetra, it cleans ok, but it evaporates fast, especially on the patch. Again, I don't believe it leaves enough lube to get away with one product. Have to buy their lube/oil for that. Again, 2 products.
With Breakfree CLP, it gets close to FP-10. It cleans (not quite as) well, you can use it to wipe down your gun, and then it lubes ok. But, FP-10, in my opinion, does all those things better, way better. So, why not pay a couple bucks (and I do mean only a couple) more for the FP-10?
Remember, everyone has an opinion on 2 things in gun forums: (1) best ammunition for SD and Target
(2) best lube/cleaner
Biggest debates on here it seems!
