JJP161 Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 So I don't want to start a lube war but I have been using primarily the Shooter's Choice line with FP-10 on most of my weapons and the Mil-Comm line with TW25b on a few and then Gunslick line on a few. So with that said the Shooters Choice and FP-10 are my go to cleaners and lube but have recently found a bunch of YouTube videos on WeaponShield. Apparently George Fennell the original inventor of FP-10 moved on after a dispute and created a brand new line and a much improved FP-10. There are some really interesting videos he has posted on wear tests of various lubricants and WeaponShield clearly wins against about anything. So being that I like FP-10 so much I am curious if the WeaponShield is really that big of am improvement. Thanks, Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSGJohnV Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 Hell, I like weapon shield just from the cool applicator. Syringe like. Lube where I need it and no where else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Browning40 Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 Depends on a lot of variables. What metal, what climate, what cleaning intervals, how much you use & reapply during a session. All that being said, I'm a Weapons Shield fan mostly because i bought enough of it to last me for a few more years. I use a syringe to apply and also use Weapon Shield oil with it (the amount depending on the season). I think you can use just about anything as long as you clean the gun each time you use it. Not everyone cleans their guns every time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mbauer67 Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 Personally I thinkFP-10 is far superior to weapon shield, but to each their own Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RangerTrace Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 I seem to have read somewhere that the owner of WS developed FP-10 also.....a long time ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RangerTrace Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 From George.... Yes I did. And I sold it to shooters choice because weapon shield was far superior and there was no need to redundantly market another product inferior to weapon shield....so I sold it and the name too. It's register to them....shooters choice/Ventco industries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sandbagger123 Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 I always wonder how much credence to put into the test he does. All the test show WS best all of current gun lubes on the market. I went through a bottle and did not find it much different than other oils. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveFromAus Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 One thing Ive noticed using it makes cleaning after very easy. Seems to stay put better than others I've tried but again oil will work just as good for lube. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hornetx40 Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 Oil is not just oil, They definitely are not all the same. Weapons shield CLP is the only lube I have ever used that stays in place even after the liquid portion is wiped away through use. I also started testing His products from Steel Shield. The spray shield is excellent as is the grease. I have been using them on 100 and 300 ton Hydraulic presses. One press had no grease fittings on the sliding bushings so I use the spray shield. It leaves a thin layer that doesn't seem to ever go away. and on the grease able bushings his grease does the same thing. I have never used an oil or grease that works as well. The ABF that George has in his products works. Iv'e compared his Strike Shield to other break free type products and damned if it didn't beat what I thought was the best. It creeps into rusted places faster and releases corroded parts. I have been using a product called Free for more than 10 years and Strike shield is better. I haven't had good luck with the solvent but his lubricants are better than anything else I have tried. I am a machinery mechanic and electrician. I have worked with a lot of different lubricants in my job. I know his products work so well that I only use his lubricants in my company. I am not sponsored by Weapons Shield but I support George and his products because it does what he says, and better than anything I have tried yet. You can believe whatever you want, but just because you believe something 100% doesn't make it true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol I've always been an "oil is oil" guy and I clean and lube after every session but... My DVC is very tight and the Ti coating seemed to want more lube to feel smooth than I was getting from gun oil. I ordered a Slide Glide Light when I got my 650 and I'm pretty surprised at how well it works, it stays put and it seems to get slicker as a range session goes on.... I'm a fan now. I am in California...and it's warm, so I can't comment on how it would be in frozen temps Edited February 28, 2016 by Chutist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJP161 Posted February 29, 2016 Author Share Posted February 29, 2016 I do like the wide variety of products that Shooters Choice offers and don't let the name fool you their AquaClean and Aqua bore clean are excellent products. Whenever I use a lubricant I like to stay with that companies cleaners and etc. so for the most part I don't mix product lines. My only issue with FP-10 is that it has gotten gummy on me a few times and only a couple of weapons left the slide and trigger nearly inoperable and we have not been able to determine or reproduce that.

Slidestop Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 I've used FP10 for years, and have been happy with it. I bought Weaponshield to see the difference, and in my opinion, it seems a bit thicker, doesn't evaporate, and stays put. As for preventing wear, I can't say I see any difference. I will continue using it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeerBaron Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 10W30, works great and it will fill a needle bottle from Brownells many times. Yep. I even splash out and use the $$ full synthetic stuff from my race cars. Motul chrono 300v works great in an open gun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainOverkill Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 I mostly use Mobil 1 and a syringe I bought off of Amazon. I've been working through a bottle of Lucas Extreme, and while it works fine it doesn't do anything special IMO. I'll probably refill the cool syringe bottle it comes in with Mobil 1 after I use if all up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
