I just bought a Walther P99 and need to get some good lube to keep her running smooth. Any suggestions? Does it make a difference if the gun is steel or poly? Manual says use Happe's #9 Nitro Powder Solvent and gun oil or household oil but I want to see if you guys recommend something else.

I clean with M-Pro7, lube with Brian Enos slideglide.

Simple green, WD-40 & mobile one 10-w30 .

I use m-pro7 also and ballistol

im currently using G96

I'm a fan of m-pro7. I can clean a gun at the kitchen table without stinking up the place.

Usually use fp10 but just bought some frog lube to try it out.

I clean with Hoppe's #9, Break Free CLP on all the internals, and protect each firearm with Smith & Wesson Lubricant & Protector.

Another M-Pro7 user here. I still can't believe a gun cleaning product that is practically odorless and looks like water cleans so well.

Hoppes, froglube and eezox

Ballistol.

Strike-Hold

ballistol, tw25b, and eezox

Getting ready to try Slip 2000 EWL. I've heard good things.

Hoppes, Slip 2000 EWL, Froglube.

Small can of aerosol Break Free in range bag (just in case).

Shooters (STINKY GOOD!), MPro7 (non-toxic) and finish off with FP10.

This. Hoppe's No 9 solvent to clean, because I like the smell. Slip 2000 EWL. I am curious about mobil 1 Synthetic though.

Hoppe's Elilte cleaner.. M-pro7 oil for lube.. but im new too, so i dont know if this is the best stuff.. (note that neither of the items smell, which is nice). I have heard good and bad things with Hoppes Elite, but seems M-pro7 is good stuff from most here..

 

Ive seen Ballistol all over the place online.. is that like CLP where its a bit of everything but a master of none? Just curious if i were to spray the internals of a semi-auto with it, does it leave too much residue in there to help build up gunk? still getting the hang of the cleaning thing and while i can taake apart the gun to clean it, im just not really positive what (other than the barrel/slide/frame) I am supposed to spray with cleaner.. (or oil for that matter)

FrogLube hasnt let me down yet...so I suggest that...and its got a nice minty smell and isnt harsh on hands just incase you have kids or pets you are worrying about that may by any chance come in contact with it.

CLP for regular overall cleanings (even bore) and wipe down... also smells good. - G96 Gun Treatment

Wet lube - Slip2K EWL

Grease - Magnalube

Copper remover for once in awhile - KG-12

Bore solvent for stubborn stuff - Hoppes #9 Semi-Auto formula

Can't believe nobody has mentioned FIREclean yet. Amazing stuff and works as a CLP.

Here is what I currently use...

 

Cleaners

Gun Cleaner: M-Pro7

Bore Gel: M-Pro7

Copper Solvent: M-Pro7

 

Lubes

Greese: tw25b

Oil: Miltech-1

 

CLP

Break-free

what's the best way to clean a magazine that has been pinned? (i.e. no disassembly possible)..

I use SLiP products - 725 Cleaner, Carbon Cutter, and EWL (http://www.slip2000.com/home.php)

 

Anyone still using CLP should read this.

Like most things, anything designed to "do it all" rarely does.

 

(I do use Hoppes occasionally, mostly because I like the smell )

How long have you been using Fireclean? Have you ever used Froglube? I have been reading about this and it seems amazing, but everything seems amazing when it's the manufacturer saying it!! I have been using Froglube lately and it seems good. My go to stuff is mPro7 but always looking out for something better. FIREclean users have great things to say about it!!

im concerned about the mpro7 oil on my CZ slide.. the inside of the channel seems to come off way too easily using the oil..

hoppes #9 / gunbutter

Otis Ultra Bore085 & Otis CLP

I use hoppe's & ballistal.

I would give fireclean a shot if I didn't have so much Froglube..
