I've been using Breakfree CLP since it was first introduced back in the Dark Ages because it works and I have never found anything better. The formula has been changed and it is no longer approved for use by the D.O.D. G 96's CLP is currently approved. I haven't been able to find any G 96 CLP locally. When the D.O.D. first drew up it's requirements for a new cleaner/lube/preservative the entire industry looked at the specs and said it couldn't be done. Breakfree not only met all the specs - it exceeded them. The only thing it won't do is dissolve copper fouling which doesn't matter to me since I only reload and shoot hard cast lead. I have run 1911s hard in competition and training - sometimes up to 1000 rounds in a day - and at the end when I tore them down the guns were FILTHY but there was still plenty of CLP on the barrel lugs, bushing and rails. It really does clean, lube and protect metal.
