I saw SLIP2000 at my favorite gun shop on Wednesday, but I passed it up. Looked kind of cheesy.
I guess I'll have to get some tomorrow.

I am very impressed by MPRO-7 (aka Hoppe's Elite Gun Cleaner). I find it cleans very well, much better than Breakfree CLP, and isn't slowly killing me in the process, like Hoppe's #9 (and I find nothing nostalgic about the smell of Hoppes #9 either, to me it smells like what it is, which is harsh toxic poison)
Ironbarr, Just e-mail them [email protected] and ask them for one. As I have been told, they took the FREE offer from the web site because one of those FREEBE.com search engines picked it up and they had some 20,000 to 30,000 free nuts asking for a free sample ( in one weekend) that did not even know what they were getting. Anyway that cost eveyone. So you just have to ask for it but well worth the trouble. Hope this helps.

Two products that I haven't seen advertised anywhere: Brian Enos' "Slide-Glide" and Strike-Hold. Heard about the former on THR, and saw the latter at a recent gun show near Tampa.
Slide-Glide is a specially formulated grease that stays put much better than normal gun greases. I put some on the slide rails of my Taurus PT-145 Millennium Pro, which occasionally would fail to fully feed a round, and have not had a failure since (after about 500 rds). Shot about 200 rds through it after the first application, and it looked like I'd hardly fired a round at all. Great stuff.
Haven't yet had much experience with Strike-Hold. It's supposed to be a cleaner/protectant that is also electrically conductive. Sprayed on and in a firearm, it dissolves carbon, penetrates even under water, and leaves a lubricated surface that is non-sticky and even repels dust and sand. Supposedly it's very popular with our troops over in the sandbox. They did an amazing demo at the gun show -- sprayed it on an ordinary electric light bulb and socket, then plugged it in, put the socket in a 5-gal plastic bucket of water, and screwed the bulb into the socket. The bulb lit up and the demonstrator didn't!

As mentioned before. The Carbon Cutter is best way to Get an AR-15 bolt clean.
Got converted to the Slip2000 a little over a year ago. Great stuff. I have used it on 1911s, Glocks, ARs, and everything else I own with no ill effects at all.

Went to SLIP2000 about a year-and-a-half ago and am VERY pleased!
I go the whole package, including the red cleaning tank, and aside from the amout of room it takes up on the bench, it's been great. I clean a lot of guns, too, because of the program and the NSSF seminars.
I 100% recommend it.

I had just used the Carbon Cutter on my 357 S&W revolver cylinder and it took all the carbon off after soaking for 2-3 min. and the lead off or out after about 5 min. or less. This stuff works! I re-lubed with the Slip 2000 CLP and fired another 500 rounds. (between 3 of us) and I was able to wipe the carbon off the face of the cylinder with my finger. Sure has made cleanup a lot faster and easier.

One of my favorite products that I have yet to see advertised is Flitz polish. It's safe on bluing, and does wonders for taking carbon and lead off the front of a revolver cylander. Also, with some Flitz and time, my Smith 586 practically glows. Highly recommended.
OK, my cleaning regiment on my pistols (revolvers, 1911's, SIG's, etc) involve basically two components - MPro7 and FP-10. I like only needing two things. One to clean, one to clean and lube. Every now and then I have to break out the Lewis Lead remover, but not often.
So to me, which product would SLIP2000 replace? Or do I use it in conjunction?
Thanks,
Robert

I just got a small bottle of the Slip 2000 at the gun show this weekend - hey, for $5 who cares. I haven't had a chance to break down a gun and thoroughly clean/lube it yet, but I did spray down the outside of my .45 with it - it looks clean, feels slick and smells good (unlike so many other cleaners). I'll do a full lube job this weekend.

SLIP 2000 Gun Lubricant will easily replace FP10. The Carbon Cutter is hard on carbon; but I don't know how well it handles lead or copper build-up in a barrel yet. The Gun Lubricant is more effective at cleaning than Breakfree or FP10 in my judgement; but I don't know if it would replace MPro7.... just guessing I would say probably not.

Standing Wolf already mentioned the Lewis Lead Remover.
Often not mentioned :
Pipe Cleaners, Long wooden Qtips, dental picks, homemade brass scrapers.
Speaking of homemade:
Take a fired . 357 case and use a triangle needle file and cut "teeth" into the mouth. Now when you shoot .38spl and the carbon rings build up , while at the range and the gun is warm - insert this case with "teeth" to punch out the rings. Same for .44spl/ .44 mag.
If enthusiastic , make a handle and insert into primer ...

Slip 2000 Carbon Cutter works great on getting rid of lead. So does the 725 Cleaner/Degreaser if you clean after a day at the range. Over all if you only wanted to have 2 products around and you are a clean nut as I am, Slip 2000 Lube (CLP) and 725 Cleaner will replace MPRO 7 very easy. If your shooting Ar's, AK's or have serious carbon deposits then the carbon cutter is the only way to go. Also cleans out those cans that get pretty dirty. Just my 2 cents worth.

Who's tried Bullfrog products?
BTT...I found a couple rust spots on my supposedly "stainless" Kahrs (had been using breakfee). I don't think they're as stainless an alloy as other guns in the collection...panic mode.
Last weekend at the gunshow, I bought something called "Bullfrog Rusthunter" a spraycan product claimed to outperform all competitors (don't they all?). Anyway, I brought it home and used it on a couple of guns. Leaves a slick coating on metal surfaces, smells like maple walnut ice cream...that's about the extent of my test results, so far. The company sells a bunch of anti-corrosion products, aimed at electronics and automotive applications, too.

Here's a pdf link with all their gun product lineup: http://www.zap-enterprises.com/images/bullfrog/product_pdfs/gun_brochure.pdf
Q: Anyone else try this product? How does it stack up to some of the others mentioned here?
By the way, I also got an "emitter pad", claimed to replace dessicant or goldenrod inside a gunsafe. Another space age product? Or was I victimized by a slick sales pitch? (The guy did have a good pitch, though.)

There are a few different grades of Stainless Steel. On one end of the spectrum, you have high rust resistance, but the metal can be softer. On the other end of the scale you lose rust resistance, but you gain metal strength. (or at least that's how it was described to me.)
So, don't panic -- it probably just means your Kahr has harder steel.

Got my Slip 2000 Gun Lube samples yesterday.
I am impressed. The stuff looks and smells like Militec, but it seems a tad thicker and more slippery. I haven't had a chance to shoot it with this lube yet, but I think I've found my new lube.
Thanks Bartholomew!

I recieved mine yesterday...
(along with my pack of RKBA magnetics .. yep, I know... audacious reminder).
Got two small tubes of Slip2000 Gun Lube - and a blurb stating they are now offering only samples of Slip2000 - not "other" products. Was hoping to check the carbon cleaner.
Anyway, I'll check it out on various long and short arms...
(no, not ALL short arms, thank you).

After seeing this thread, I requested a free sample of Slip2000 Lube. I received it (2 squeezetubes), was favorably impressed, and ordered the 3 for 2 special.
My package arrived today, and along with my three 14oz cans of lube, they enclosed a bunch of freebies (carbon cleaner, more lube in different containers, etc.)!
Great product...great service...and I've got myself a new gun lube thanks to this thread.

Post on Savageshooters.com mentiond that he saw this stuff on use by a bunch of 1,000 yd. Bench Shooters in PA, "Marvel Mystery Oil" to cut carbon in bbl's.
Stuff's been around since WW II and had/has a Mil spec #.
Can be found in most auto parts store's as Turtle Wax distributes it.
It is something that should not get on your skin, however, according to the MSDS on it.

Anyone here ever try Moly-Fusion? http://www.shootersolutions.com/molyfusion1.html
I honestly don't think there is another product that is this slippery. This stuff isn't typical "Moly" coating. This stuff seeps into the metal as a bond. Great on auto pistols and the best part is it makes cleaning a breeze.
