Back in the summer, I posted a thread about trying out Frog Lube. I followed the directions for applying it and, like MajO, I was surprised how much carbon/crud came off the pistol just from the application.

I still use it on 1 govt. 10mm, 1 govt. .45, 1 govt. 9x23, 1 commander .45, and one CCO 9x23.

I am still happy with it's performance. I am well aware of the people that chastise anyone that doesn't use what they do and claim that Frog Lube is just a gimmick......whatever.

If the lube you are using is doing it's job by keeping the friction of moving parts to a minimum, doesn't cause your firearm to rust on you, and gets your pistol clean when you tear it down for a bath, then you are in fine shape. I see nothing wrong with trying out new stuff, if you want, as long as it doesn't cause you to start having a negative response from your pistol.

On my shotguns, lever rifle, AR, wife's M&P, and .22 semi-auto's, I use FP-10 for cleaning and lube. Works fine on them.

Good thread topic .

I use slide glide on my p226 for lube and militec1 for my valor. Hoppes #9 to clean them both. Used to use rem oil on the sig but had some issues with slide not locking back after last round. They went away when I switched to slide glide.

I use G96 to clean then I use something else to lube it. It is just gun oil that comes in the cleaning kits you buy at walmart.

I use Hoppes 9 for pre cleaning and Break Free CLP for Cleaning, Lubricating and protection.

I use Mobile 1 on the company's bar code printers.

I'm using FP-10. It seems to work better than the cheap stuff at Walmart.

Don't you just love the way G96 works? It also smells good! I find it is a very good carbon and metal fouling remover. Also a very light lube as well!

I do love it. I use it a lot. I need to buy some more of it. I spray it on wood stocks too and rub it in with my hands. It cleans them up real good imo.

ATF, Lubriplate SFL-0 & FP-10.

SFL-0 is great on slides.
