I have, and use both, when I clean my guns. I don't use them at the same time, but alternate between them. I can't find any discernible difference between them. They are both top notch products. But this is jut my opinion, others may have a differing one, which is ok.

 

What OB said.

 

Ballistol. Smells better. :supergrin:

 

I use them both, but if I had to choose just one.
It would be Ballistol.

 

Ballistol is much better when dealing with possibly corrosive primers. It was specifically designed to neutralize corrosive compounds. It also does not damage wood. It is also non-toxic, so it can be used on (non-commercial) food equipment. It is the original CLP.

BreakFree is a good general purpose gun oil.

As a black powder user,for myself there is no comparison Ballistol for the reasons stated above.
I've been a satisfied user since 1985 with absolutely no corrosion. SJ 40

 

All I use is Ballistol.
It's totally non-toxic.
Fine with wood, plastic, rubber...
Cleans and lubricates.
Hell, my hands feel mosturized after cleaning my guns - LOL!

Don't have any reason to try anything else.

Enough said.

I know, that's a good endorsement.

I'm convinced, I'm sticking with Ballistol. Why fix what ain't broke.

 

Ballistol wins in my book it's safe and an excellent product

Sometimes simple is better.

 

I use both. Ballistol has been used for my blackpowder guns and I always used CLP for my non blackpowder.

I've since been using both CLP and ballistol for both and so far no complaints. There're both good. But unlike others I'm not enamored by the smell of ballistol, though my wife likes it.

Same here. I think it smells nasty.

 

I use CLP in my AR's and it has always worked well for me. I prefer something with a little heavier lube properties to grease the slide rails on my Sigs and 1911's.

 

Good point. Glocks and all the other handguns I have need very little lube. I may try CLP on my AR.

 

I've used Ballistol for the past 5-6 years and I also have used CLP in the past. They both work fine.

 

I don't use either, but BF CLP is a total no-go for me due to it's toxicity. My Glocks and stainless revolvers don't require much lube, are extremely rust/corrosion resistant already and aren't exposed to harsh environmental conditions, so pretty much anything will work fine. Just pick something truly non-hazardous and I'm not convinced Ballistol qualifies as such despite the advertising.

 

I have used both. I don't use CLP much anymore with exception to AR-15s.

I use Break Free CLP, because I have a decent stock of it. I also have some Ballistol, Remoil, Mpro LPX, Lucas gun oil, Militec and Otis CLP.

They all do a decent job, but for lube I really like Lucas gun oil. Very good stuff.

Remoil is pretty light. It does a decent job cleaning, but I use it for my shotguns, bolt guns, and revolvers where I like a lighter oil.

The Mpro 7 LPX seems to be really good, and doesn't evaporate quickly.

I use whatever I feel like grabbing at the moment, with the exception of my P226, and M&P 40 which only have seen militec for lube.

At my work, by policy all guns must be lubricated with militec. It is the only authorized lubricant.
