I like One Shot as a spray protectant because as a polymer coating, it is non-oily and does not gunk-up, yet it has also demonstrated good corrosion resistance. Compared to something like Ballistol, Rem-Oil, WD-40, Breakfree CLP, or an oil, grease or synthetic lubricant, it remains dry and dust does not stick to it. My arid environment is more dusty than rusty.
As a cleaner, I don't think One Shot is better than Non-Chlorinated Brake Parts Cleaner. I don't think much of it as a lubricant, though the polymer does reduce friction. I use an oil or grease where lubrication is required. But I still like One Shot as a spray protectant.
I spray my reloading dies, the outside of my revolvers, I'd spray the bore of rifles and shotguns with it and then run a dry patch through. I spray my knives with it and wipe them down. I spray parts and tools going into storage that might not see the light of day for years.
I'm aware of the health risks of n-hexane, but I can use it in a ventilated area or outside and wear nitrile gloves. Once the n-hexane has evaporated and blown away, the polymer doesn't continue to present a health risk that I'm aware of.
The thing I don't like about One Shot is that it's hard to get. The only source I have is online and it's been $22 for a small can for a while now. I used to get it for $13 to $15 which was a lot already. I need an alternative.
