Just ordered a couple of cans of Ballistol from Amazon. My current cleaning involves a a cleaning with a Solvent and then liberal coat of gun oil. My problem is that dissolvent makes the smell very strong.

On YouTube I always watch Hickhok45 and he uses this stuff so I figured I'd give it a try.

This is the one I ordered http://www.amazon.com/Ballistol-Lube-Ae ... =Ballistol" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; has anyone used it with good results?

I use non chlorinated brake cleaner. Hopps #9 in the barrel. Spray the rest with brake cleaner and then oil it up.

Edited: to change from fluid to cleaner! :oops:

I've use it wth pretty good results. I've also used CLP. Watch some of Hickok45's vids on Glock cleaning. He also uses alcohol when doing more than a field strip cleaning. I tend to like Hickok45 and use a lot of his recommendations.
