    CLP vs dedicated solvent & lube

    Do you only use a CLP or a dedicated solvent & lube? Do you use the same stuff on all your firearms or special lubes for different ones?
    I'm a firm believer that different firearms use different lubes & cleaners. My glocks got the Frog Lube treatment & that all they get. I run them a little on the drier side. My 642 gets dedicated lubes but I just got my first 1911A1 (SA TRP SS) & I'm not sure if I'm going to use a CLP or dedicated lubes but I leaning towards dedicated. This is the majority of stuff I have on hand

    All my guns get the same stuff. And it's not froglube.

      I'm a simple guy, Ballistol works for all my guns, grips, wood, leather, and leaves my hands palmolive smooth.

        Ballistol or weaponshield as clp. I have many other products that I have tried, but those two are the ones that get used.

          Hoppes to soak and clean barrels, CLP to clean and lube most everything else and final coating in barrel. Rem oil for triggers. TW-25B grease for rails and sears. Seems to work for me.

              Ballistol, CLP (breakfree), or leftover Mobil1 for bore cleaning and general lubrication. Also have a small bottle of Mpro7 copper solvent that is rarely used.

              For pistol rails and Rifle bolt carrier group, I will use something a little thicker like Slip2000 EWL.

                        Bay Area Gun Vault in Mtn View regularly carries it. Or Amazon.

                          Breakfree CLP for 99% of cleaning and lube. Slip 2000 EWL when I just want lube. Wipeout when I need to cleancopper out of a bore.

                            CLP, Hoppes, KleenBore, Gun Grease. Alternate between them.

                              I can't get over the smell of Ballistol, ended up giving it away.
