Had it. Was ok. Good for general cleaning. Barrel needs more than DK, though, to remove lead. I decided to go with non-toxic cleaners, in the end. Thought it would be better for my health.
ed's red is fine, but it does smell rather strongly.
i have for several years simply soaked gun parts
in odorless mineral spirits which has worked very nicely.
after shooting > 500 rounds thru my AR 15 i field strip
it and completely submerge it in the odorless mineral
spirits for 10-15 minutes. upon returning, i scrub the
parts as i would have to clean them and they all clean up
very nicely.
if you use a soak system,you still have to clean the guns,
but it takes all the fuss out of it.
I wouldn't recommend it. The acetone, especially, is hostile to plastics. The plastic in a Glock is very resistant to chemicals, but there is a limit to everything.
That being said, I use Ed's Red (the formula in CXM's post) with acetone in it to clean my P99. The P99's plastic frame is, I believe pretty much the same sort of plastic as a Glock has. I do not soak it, though, and I try to keep the Ed's off of the plastic and wipe it off quickly. No damage so far.
Some people mix Ed's Red without the acetone, which makes it much friendlier to plastics. I'd still be wary of soaking a plastic frame, though.
Use Poly Dunk-it for polymer based guns. Just field strip and place in the container for about an hour. I give a quick brush off and blow dry with my air compressor. Works like a charm.
