Wow. I just did a search to see what people thought of it and only found ONE mention of it on all of THR.
Anyone besides me use this stuff:

(Only place you can get it I think.)
I've got mixed feelings about it. It's a good mild cleaner that I don't have to be afraid of what I get it on or if I get it into my actions, etc. As a lube it works fine, but doesn't have that nice slick hydroplane FEEL that oil does, so it's still good for things like a revolver extractor rod and places like that where gunk will stick to oil. I use it on my Glock. I still use Breakfree on 1911/Hi-Power slide rails and knife pivots. I'm going to try Prolix instead of heavy oil in the guts of an old Taurus revolver and see how that works out as far as keeping grit from collecting there but still lubing like it's supposed to. (It's good to have a 'beater' gun to experiment with.)
I REALLY like Prolix for servicing magazines where I wouldn't dare use oil.
It also doesn't work worth a crap on any kind of adhesive like I always get on my knives from opening packages. I also always keep a bottle of GooGone around (another of my favorite workshop liquids).
