I just glanced at the pics, but it looks very similar to the baking soda solution with a battery charger approach many backyard mechanics use. Good for light surface type rust, but heavy rust is pointless to try removing when its on a firearm. If a gun is HEAVILY rusted, it's no good anymore!
It depends where the rust is. If there is heavy rust on the slide from concealed carry but the bore and action are good, use a wire brush, sandpaper and naval jelly. Then prime it, sand it, prime it and use a bake on finish.
This process works very well ! I have bought a few rusted rifles in the past that were sold to me as junk and after a bath with this process they were almost like new again ! The guy who sold me the rifles could not believe I got them to look so good! Now he is kinda mad that he sold them to me so cheap .

The primary advantage of electrolysis is that it will not indiscriminately remove metal you do not want to, but target only the corrosion, so things like serial numbers and colt marking stay intact
Have a tank of it going now on some parts off of a garage sale Logan 10" metal lathe, it seems to turn the rust to some sort of black goo (Not Scientific name of compound) but you should wear some rubber gloves when you go to clean it off, its nasty but literally wipes right off with a sponge wet with Break free! I love this method and found out about it when I got into old hand planes, another sickness...there is something about the marriage of wood and steel I simply love...tools, guns, antiques...you get the idea!
