Put 100 rounds through the FNP-9, 250 rounds through the S&W 22a. I had previously been cleaning it with Ballistol, and lubing it with Ballistol as well, with Tetra Grease or White Lithium on sliding parts.
After reading the FrogLube threads, decided to just clean off carbon fouling with paper towels and a dry patch through the barrels. Carbon came right off of the barrel, feed ramps, and other areas (and not just areas I lube, but areas that I do keep dry after cleaning with Ballistol). Both pistols looked just as clean as if I had gone through my regular regiment of spraying with Ballistol, letting the Ballistol work, then wiping, scrubbing, brushes, etc. Barrels and feed ramps shining.
I have to say this gives me more confidence in Ballistol.
