Free 14 day offer - Weapon Shield CLP

Just for the record, I got sample of FP-10 from George a long time ago and was hook. That stuff was like good. I went bought a bulk of it at gun show. I see it being sold at Walmart now, not sure if it is the same thing. I still have a little bit from my bulk purchase and has been very very please. Not sure if it is the best out there but it is the best I have used and I am very please. Save time, no smell, and very good result. Has not seen any rust or anything and I shoot a lot.
 
Thanks for the freebie. I took out a few bolt guns the other day. Before I went out I cycled them a few times, they felt pretty good. I then put a few drops of Weapon Shield on the bolt lugs and in the bolt channel and cycled them some more. While not very scientific, they seemed to be slicker, it seemed to take less effort to cycle the bolts.

I am sold, this stuff will definately have a place in the maintenance of my guns.

thanks for the opportunity to use your product.

Well I decided to give it a test on my Nagant pistol.

I cleaned the barrel with CLP and followed with dry patches until they came out very clean. I thought that has been the cleanest in a long time.

I put a couple of drops of Weapon Shield on a patch and pulled it through once and the patch came out almost black. I had to double check to see if someone switched pistols on me and gave me a dirty one! :D

It took a few more patches to come out clean but now I know it's clean!

I think I'm going to like this product.

Does it come with a Lilac scent? That would make people wonder where the heck the smell is coming from everytime you pull the trigger. :p
 
Mine came within a few days of the request. Unfortunately I didn't get to use it on my Cz &5 until recently. Great product. I hadn't cleaned it in a while, but once done the action was nice and clean and smooth.

A lot better that the smelly solvent in my hoppes basic cleaning kit and a lot simpler with just the one bottle to use too.

Thanks! Highly recommended!!
 
Mine arrived in the mail today. I plan on doing some cleaning tomorrow and posting a report.

I would like to issue a big "thank you" to George for taking the time to do this. That he would not only offer a free sample, but to cover the shipping is truly a testament to his customer service as well as his faith in his product.

Again, thank you George!
 
Got my free sample in 2 days. I wish some of the stuff that I actually paid for would be shipped so promptly.

FWIW, I've been using FP-10 almost exclusively for the past 2 years and all of the guns are clean when the sample arrived. Here's what I noticed:

- The GLOCK 21 that I normally carry in a SafePacker has the dull black finish on it. With FP-10, I noticed the gun is usually "dry" after a couple of days. I cleaned and wiped down the G21 with Weapon Shield a week ago and it is still showing a sheen and it definitely feels slick to the touch. +1 for Weapon Shield.

- I normally swap and brush the barrel with Hoppe's No. 9. Prior to final assembly, I run a patch with FP-10 through the barrel, followed by several dry patches. The FP-10 patch usually brings out a bit more gunk from the barrel. When I run Weapon Shield through the clean barrels, I did not see any more gunks on the patch. This suggests FP-10 was doing a very good job. Until I get a chance to try Weapon Shield on a dirty barrel, it is a draw between FP-10 and Weapon Shield.

- I'm in the process of breaking in a Baer TRS and have been using FP-10 on it since day one. When I took it out of the safe, the TRS is still wet with FP-10 from its prior cleaning. I hand cycled the slide and noticed the action is slightly gritty and it still requires significant effort to take the gun out of battery. After field stripping and re-lube the TRS with Weapon Shield, the action is noticeably smoother and can be unlocked much easier than before. The TRS is still tight, but it now takes noticeably less effort to unlock it. +1 for Weapon Shield.

I'm impressed with what I've seen so far and definitely will be ordering some Weapon Shield even though I still have a brand new 16 oz. bottle of FP-10 sitting on the shelf. ;) Thank you again for a great product!

Folks....This offer is for real. I sent email, got a reply from George the next day telling me it was on the way. Had it in 2 days, came in a nice little plastic bottle with a droper top so there should not be alot of waste and overkill when you only need a little.

Sorry to say, I haven't had a chance to us it yet, but I will soon and let ya all know what I think about it.

Thanks George, sounds like you have a winner! :D
 
I was surprised to find my sample in the mail last night (especially as it had arrived Monday and I forgot to check it!) and while I have only given it a cursory glance, I'm pretty impressed so far.

The odour is the primary thing for me. While I love the smell of Hoppes my wife is far less enthusiastic, so the mild "warm oil" aroma of the Steel Shield should win her approval.

I'll be plinking up a storm with my SKS this weekend, so I'll post some before (it's dirty) and after pics when I get the chance. If the product is as good as the shipping response (it took a certain stock manufacturer longer to respond to my order being placed than it took this free sample to arrive) I'll be placing an order.
 
Weapon Shield

I got my sample in last week. I cleaned a very dirty S&W 422. I though it did a great job cleaning this pistol. Went to the range yesterday and the pistol worked fine, no problems after 50 rounds. It dosen't have a very strong smell when you use it. I like it and would recommend it as well. just my $.02
 
Thank you!!

For those of you who have received the Weapon Shield CLP and had the time to work with it a bit, I want to take the time to say thank you. I also realize that we all have hectic schedules and many of you wont have time to get to the range and such for a bit, and thats OK. I thank you in advance as I am sure you'll all get to posting up when the time is right and you all can.

I have taken many of the posts and put them on our site as "What the SHOOTERS are saying"....not what the "armchair officianados" are saying, as thats as moot as it gets. I as well as most everyone here gets out there and shoots. Frankly, I don't know what I'd do if I couldn't shoot and lots of you feel the same way. I've ridden Harley's all my life, since I bought my first 49 panhead when I was 17 and if I was forced to choose between one or the other (God forbid), I'd have to choose my weapons and my shooting sports. Thankfully, I dont have to choose (yet :eek: )

Keep posting up guys. It is an enormous sense of gratitude and accomplishment that I feel in being able, once again to deliver the best product out there to you all, and having it villified and validated by you all as well, AND ensuring the preservation my own firearms collection for the duration of their ownership (and more).

My very best regards to you all,
George
 
George,

I saw my post about treating my Makarov on your site. Hope it helps. Due to suddenly being a man short at work, broke down truck and everything else that could possibly go wrong over the last week I still haven't been able to range test yet. I still can't get over the difference in my Mak and have been telling everyone about it. I did though get one of my rifles treated last night. A 35 year old Winchester 190 ( semi-auto .22). I saw the same kind of changes on it.
Much smoother and lighter action. I hope before this weekend I can treat my AK, a .357 revolver and my sons 10/22 at least and fire all this weekend.
Will update then. Thanks again.
 
Got mine in the mail on Monday, just a few days after I asked for it. Thanks for the quick response. My wife is having a c-section tomorrow, so I don't think I will be shooting any this weekend :) But I will give a full report as soon as I have tried it out.

Thanks again,
Todd
 
review of sample

i normally clean my guns very regularly. i use breakfree which i've found to be sufficient if you don't let stuff build up.

the bottle arrived within a couple of days of sending the email.

i have two pistols that i've been spending a lot of range time with. i decided to let one of them build up more crud than usual, and continue my normal cleaning regimen with the other. this review is based on observations of the regular cleaning - i'm going to trade places with them next week, and see how the weapon shield treated gun holds up to lack of cleaning and how well it cleans the dirty gun.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
in the three areas of interest:

it seems to clean as well as break free does. due to regular cleaning, this doesn't seem to be a difficult hurdle. i have a few complaints which are mostly aesthetic: the bottle is stiff and hard to regulate, the twist nozzle is nice for opening and closing, but adds to the hard to manage.

it is also much thicker than breakfree is, and adds to the feeling that it's difficult to clean with. the guns did not end up any dirtier, it was just a feeling thing. i was very tempted to try to cut it with a thinner for cleaning purposes, but had no idea what would have been appropriate, or if there even was anything acceptable to thin it with. (feedback on this would be appreciated).

as a lubricant it feels like it surpasses breakfree. it penetrates nicely, and the guns cycle as well at the end of a shooting session as they did at the beginning. This is not an area i normally have difficulty with either, so the difference is also based on gut feel rather than being able to evaluate failures to perform.

finally, as a protectant, weapon shield is just as serviceable as breakfree is. i don't bathe my guns in salt water, so i don't expect to see corrosion. while one may be better under harsh conditions than the other, with what my guns are exposed to they perform equally well. they both also play nice with all synthetics and wood that they've encountered.

the price is right, and it comes in a 16 oz bottle (rather than spray can, which makes it easier to redistribute). i'll likely become a paying customer, especially if there is good advice on thinning it for cleaning.
 
!!!

Thanks iii for your post and please allow me to iterate a few points.

First, the small sample bottles are made of a quality pvc which, due to its small size or short size, causes one to have to use a bit of pressure and this is intentional. WS-CLP goes a LONG way and not much is needed under the 3 aspects of usage. If we were to have used a softer HDPE material, then it would more than likely have gushed out and loss would have been a big issue (seeing how there is but only 1 ounce in there). These 1 ouncers are primarily meant for sliding into the bands of a soldiers' assault vest and/or flak jacket along with being small enough to carry an ample amount for the shooter's bag, where the 4 and 16 ouncers more suited for the bench. Also, we will have our vertical pump sprayers for both the 1 and 4 ouncers in a week or so. This eliminates the need to squeeze in the future.

Thinning it with solvent is really "working against the grain" so to speak. I formulated WS-CLP to be solvent/volatile free and non-toxic, while still having the surface spread characteristics and cleaning ability of a solvent, in fact BETTER than most solvents. It's all a little game that we all suffer from that the mind plays on us when we have been so perpetually conditioned to something for so long. The mind says subconsciously ("RESIST") and we sometimes do. Next time you shoot, try something for me, if you will iii...clean the weapon with BF until you know its good and clean. THEN, taking a wet patch with WS-CLP, coat the barrel and allow it to set for 2-5 minutes. Then go back down the bore and see what residual fouling (if any) comes out.

I thank you for your posting !!! and do not view it negatively at all, as a matter of fact I thought it was well written and well balanced. I only felt I needed to express the reason for the firmness of the stout little 1 ouncers and answer your inquiry about the "thinning" part of the report.

Once again, thank you iii and best regards,
George

Finally settled enough to clean and review!

CPO SIG 229 in .40 S&W

This pistol was taken to the range about two weeks ago where I fired just shy of 200 rounds of dirty, nasty, lead truncated cone, ammunition through it. The pistol functioned flawlessly and was extremely accurate. It was then worn for CCW during my entire move (dirt, sweat, and all). In the end it was about as dirty and nasty as I’ve ever let a sidearm get.

For this entire test the only chemical used on the firearm was “Weapon Shield”.

I started by field stripping the firearm down and then swabbing the inside of the barrel with Weapon Shield CLP. I then let the barrel sit for 20 minutes while I cleaned the rest of the gun. The frame cleanup went very quickly with Weapon Shield easily removing any and all gunk from the rails and other parts. One note is that Weapon Shield greatly reduced the stiff, gritty, feel of my magazine release button.

Cleaning the slide was, of course, more involved. Weapon Shield was doing such a nice job of removing fouling and gunk that I decided to go the extra mile and actually disassemble the firing pin and extractor. Again Weapon Shield (on several Q-Tips) did a first rate job of removing all gunk from the parts and the recessed areas, especially the firing pin channel.

By now about 20 minutes had passed so I took a bronze brush and scrubbed the barrel (which had some lead fouling from the LTC ammunition). I then ran a patch through which came out BLACK with lots of lead flakes. Visual inspection of the barrel showed a little more lead but I would estimate an 85% removal on the first go. As you may imagine I was pretty impressed at that. I swabbed the barrel with Weapon Shield again and set it aside while I reassembled the slide.

About 5 minutes later I brush-scrubbed the barrel again and ran more patches through it and visual inspection showed the barrel to be clean and shiny and ready to go. I don’t know if Weapon Shield is supposed to be a lead remover, but in this case it certainly seemed to make the job easier.

Now one of the issues I have with my SIG pistols is rust in the grip screw slots (on the side that faces my body). So far I’ve had good luck with Birchwood Casey “Barricade” spray to greatly reduce this issue, but not much else has helped at all. Since this pistol was going to be a testbed I hadn’t treated the screws and sure enough there was a hint of surface rust in the slots. Weapon Shield and a Q-Tip removed the rust. Time will tell if Weapon Shield also succeeds in preventing rust in this troublesome area.

This firearm is an extremely smooth operating one so right now it’s a little difficult for me to tell by feel if Weapon Shield has had an effect on this aspect. The magazine release button was certainly smoothed out and is much easier to operate now. The barrel, guide rod, and rails all seem very slick and well lubricated. I also noted that the viscosity seemed very good. Thin enough to work into just about anyplace you put it, thick enough to avoid running all over the place. Testing and time will tell if the lube stays put or not. Odor is fine and passed the wife test as well as my own chemically sensitive nose.

Next stage will be a series of 100 round range trips with only a barrel swab-out. At 500 rounds I will report back on how Weapon Shield is holding up as well as detailing how the 500 round detail cleanup goes.
