I use Frog Lube. It's a great CLP. I use their solvent after heavy range days, then use their paste for CLP. I use their liquid Frog Lube on the barrel and slide. I've tried different cleaners and lubricants but this is the best stuff. Everyone has their preferences.

Slip2000 carbon killer for the chamber and Slip2000 EWL for everything else.

Hoppe's #9, REM-oil & lots of former tee shirts.

Then I lube with CLP, Hoppe's Oil, or Outer's Gun Oil. Whichever bottle is closest at the time. My 1911's function the same with any of the three.

Hoppes #9 and lube with Mobil One. All of my firearms get the same treatment.

 

[frogfurr]

Quick and easy for me. Hoppes #9 is good stuff. For cleaning the barrel I like Shooter's Choice MC#7. For cleaning the slide and frame M-Pro 7 works the best for me. For lube I like Shooter's Choice FP-10. This is Kimber's recommended lube. I like Rem-Oil. It's a very good lubricant. Outer's make some good lubes also. But these are thin lubes. My gun would seep oil like a torpedoed oil freighter. FP-10 is a thicker lube. It doesn't seep. A few drops on a Q-Tip goes a long way. And after shooting a couple hundred rounds the FP-10 is still there when I clean the gun.

Hoppe's on the bore and SIMPLE GREEN on the frame and slide, water rinse and blow dry then a good coat of ATF works good for me.

Hoppes #9

 

[frogfurr]

I like Simple Green. I use it to clean my diesel tractor once a year. Not something that I would want to put on a nice gun. Or ATF either.

 

[glider]

Hoppes and Kroil for cleaning. Lubriplate and ATF for lube.

 

[Busa Dave]

Only on a Kimber and nothing else -- Comet!! Gets the Blue Off...

 

[300holland]

Butch' Bore Shine and Butch's Oil. Works pretty well, not too harsh.

 

[iconbadgta]

I just use soap and water with a tooth brush and i use a tarceotomy brosh for the barrel and other tight places.. After cleaning and drying i use nothing but remoil.... I rarely shoot my uc2 but i oil her quite occasionally, 2 times per month atleast to ensure her fine stainless azzz is ready, protected, and clean to fire! Just incase

I use frog lube. I have been using it for a year now and love the stuff. Living in Florida with the heat and sweating on my EDC it holds up great. I have had rust issues with other CLP but frog lube has held up the best.

 

[Josias]

Ditto. Or rifle, or shotgun or carburetor....ok maybe not carburetor.

This made me :biglaugh:!

Would carb cleaner work?, I'd just be careful some solvents can ruin finishes..

 

[bluegrassZ71]

CLP Break Free to clean and Shooter's Choice FP10 to lube.

 

[Valkman]

What is thing "cleaning the gun"?

Nah, I use FP10 mostly but I have used brake cleaner on some guns.

 

[Flanged Barrel Fanatic]

I've been using Birchwood Gun Scrubber, but I bet brake cleaner is a lot cheaper. Thanks for the tip. Also canned compressed computer air. For surface lube I rely on a good silicone rag. Hoppe's for barrel, and Rem Oil for moving parts. I recently bought some Rem Oil wipes, but have not used them yet.

 

[glider]

Kroil, Hoppes and choreboy for cleaning. Lubraplate and ATF for lube.

 

[ColtDefender45]

Break Free CLP for cleaning, and Shooter's Choice FP-10 for lube.

 

[OZ 1911]
