I've been using Breakfree CLP for a good while as my lubricant and protectant. I recently reviewed the MSDS for this stuff and found that it has an NFPA rating of 2 for health and 1 for fire. I decided to start searching for a less hazardous replacement, and came upon M-Pro 7 and Weapon Shield. The M-Pro has a 0 health rating, and a 1 fire rating. The Weapon Shield has a 1 health rating, and a 1 fire rating. Both better than Breakfree.

I've read very good reviews of both of these C-L-Ps - it's difficult to wade through everything to get a good impression. But I'll through it out here anyway for those of you with more experience than me to give your opinions: which one would you use - Weapon Shield or M-Pro 7?

I've never used M-Pro 7 but I started using Weapon Shield a couple of years ago and I really like it. Not so much as a cleaner, but very much as a lube and protectant (At the end of a range session I prefer to use a separate solvent for cleaning, then re-lube). I use WS mostly on my AR rifle and 1911 pistol, and it has performed very well for both.
 
I have been using Hoppe's Elite as a cleaner for some time. It does an excellent job at cleaning, is not hazardous to your health, and is free of any bothersome odors. After I finish cleaning with Hoppe's, I lubricate my firearms with Rem Oil. Both of these are excellent products and I would recommend them.
 
Weapon's Shield is very good as a general lubricant and rust protector. That's what I use it for. I like Breakfree CLP as a general cleaner and am not concerned about the rating for health or fire as I am only using the product once every six weeks or so. My semi autos get an application of dilithium grease on the rails. Of course cleaning starts with a brass brush and Hoppes #9 in the barrel.
 
I like Hoppe's Elite for cleaning too. It is excellent. For lubrication and preservation I use EEZOX. It goes on wet but dries completely to form a protective surface that is superior as a lubricant for slides and other moving surfaces. As a preservative, it can last for years. All of my firearms are protected with it.
 
which one would you use - Weapon Shield

Since you've asked specifically which one I would use between the two you provided (hint to future postings), I would use WeaponShield. The inventor seems to back his product and has done an admirable job when I experimented with it.
 
I know it's not in your original list of choices, but I'm going to be another Eezox voter.

I have tried the Weapon Shield and was not impressed. Have yet to try the M-Pro 7...as soon as I see some, I'll give it a try.
 
Hoppe's Elite and MPro7 are the same stuff, Both are manufactured by Pantheon Chemicals I use the stuff all the time and it's a really good cleaner. Gets right down to the metal and after a few repetitions cleaning is easier and faster. I blow it around with compressed air after brushing it on and letting it sit for a while as per instructions.

The metal being so bare and clean needs something to protect & lubricate it. I use Breakfree CLP or MPro7 Gun Oil but I'm sure any good quality oil will do nicely. I also blow the oil thin with compressed air over all metal surfaces. Well, all except hot places which get a dry Teflon lube. The dryness helps avoid fouling and Teflon tends to bond with metal surfaces when heated to the temperatures associated with chambers and barrels. That works out as an even slipperier lube condition.
