I've been using eezox for the past two years on all of my firearms with great results...I also have some weaponshield products I've used on my revolvers as well...Any other users of these products? What do you think?

I use Eezox on my Springfield XDMs and think its a great product. I just cleaned my PM9 with it for the first time last week

I use Eezox on all of my firearms. Great rust protection.

I typically use Gunzilla but did get a free sample of weaponshield. After cleaning my PM9 I used weaponshield sparingly in the usual places. It is considerably thicker than Gunzilla but seemed to lube pretty well.

I don't shoot as often as many here and it was about 3 weeks before I shot. When cleaning afterward, I saw the weaponshield had become gummy and a dark brown. That was over a month ago and I've been to the range a couple times. Cleaning after the last time (Gunzilla) I saw the weaponshield leaking out from the recoil spring rod (inner spring). So I'm not a weaponshield fan, but I do really like the needle dispenser it came in.

I use Gunzilla for cleaning and oiling, and TW25b for grease. TW is light weight - not real sticky - but doesn't run.

i like eezox for anything i carry or store. i also use it on my hunting rifles. i am gonna start putting some gun grease on the contact points of the pm9's frame though because even though ive never had any issues i figure it cant hurt. anyone use eezox on a ar? i am waiting for my new spikes to come in!

I use Eezox. It is a great cleaner and a proven rust inhibitor. It may be a fine lube but I don't use it as such.

I use gun butter as my lube (that stuff is awesome)

I use weapons shield on all my pistols and rifles. Best lube I've found in over 40 yrs of shooting :)

I'm the odball here...I use WD-40 for cleaning and store everything in a safe with large cans of desicant. I clean my weapons after each use and before storing. Have been doing this since the 1970's without a problem. Lately, I've been using Shooter's Choice synthetic lube (red lube in a syringe) and/or FP-10 when I go to the range with intent to shoot 100+ rounds.

I'm new to CCW, so the salt from persperation is a challenge. I'll definately look into Eezox for my CCW pistol.

I use eezox, even though the smell is worst than Hoppes. I actually like the smell of Hoppes.

I used to use Eezox on my defensive pistols. As a dry lube/corrosion protectant, it works great, but I'm not a fan of the smell or the chemicals it contains. I switched to Weaponshield, and it has worked out just as well as Eezox, or anything else I've tried so far. Plus, I get to support a local business.

I used Eezox happily for a couple of years. Then I started getting the impression (from the feel of racking the slide) that the lubrication might be too thin. So I tried WeaponShield. It was certainly heavier, but was much like a light motor oil, which I felt would attract too much dust in my dry, dusty climate. So I tried Gunzilla and have been happy with it for the past year.

Eezox for cleaning and wipe down. I use other lubricants for high stress areas like rails and locking lugs. Not sure it's required, but it makes me feel better and my guns do work.

I know people use WD-40 and I was once one of those people. I recently saw an older Ruger pistol that was treated with WD-40. The WD-40 had evaporated and left a sticky brown shellack behind. The guys had to run it through an ultrasonic bath to free things up. I wouldn't use it other than for water displacement after a gun got wet. JMHO based on observations.

Where do you guys buy Eezox these days? I've looked at Cabellas, Midway, Bass Pro and not found any yet.

I have never used either but primarily use Tetra Gun Grease and FP-10.

I am obsessive, and as such I did a ton of research to find the absolute best lubricant made.

Weapons Shield is simply awesome. I use both the oil and grease. After shooting, all I do is wipe all the old oil and residue off (no need to scrub or soak, nothing sticks) and re-lube, reassemble. Thats it. I coat the entire gun, inside and out. It also smells alright.

The same company also makes lubes for other industries. Supposedly its the chemist who helped create Breakfree CLP that everyone loves.
