Frog-lube, Ballistol......
I used what was Weaponshield in the mid 2000s. It was okay but nothing super great.
I'm now using FrogLube,
www.froglube.com . It's not cheap but it's non toxic, FDA approved & has a light "mint" scent(I think it's more like Pepto Bismal).
Many gun owners & armorers say it's best to
heat the surface prior to application(s) of the FrogLube paste or CLP. I just apply light amounts of liquid to my Glock 21 .45acp pistol. It works good so far.
In a recent THR post, a forum member documented a detailed T&E of around 30 different CLPs/gun care products. Ballistol, Weaponshield & Froglube were included. Of the products T&Eed, Hornady's One Shot & Frog-Lube did very well.
Gunzilla, Weaponshield & Ballistol did okay but not outstanding. They were in the top ten of the 30 or so after the results were reviewed.
I've used Ballistol since about 1997. It's great and handy around the home or shop too,
.
Like FrogLube it's safe, non-toxic & CFC free so you can use bare hands with it.
FWIW; one common - I've heard about FrogLube other than the overall price is that is can "gum up" or "congeal" on weapons stored for long periods.
I think this may be from a excessive amount of CLP or grease being used.
Keep in mind that the all natural FrogLube may do things like this due to moisture, humidity, temperature etc.
I'll close by saying FrogLube was created by a former US Navy SEAL & special ops guy. That's not a PR stunt either, FrogLube is sold in the gift shop of the SEAL-UDT museum in Florida.
