I have some in a tiny bottle in my Otis Kit that I take into the field and it works okay to get carbon out but doesn't seem to touch copper. I use Kroil mostly on all my firearms.

Not since boot camp.
I use Break Free CLP on all my guns. It's definitely not the best cleaner, or the best lubricant, or the best preservative; but it DOES seem to be the best compromise of all three. If you have a very specific cleaning job, and it's a difficult job like copper or rust removal, then a more specialized product is probably a better choice for that job. But 99% of the time, CLP works just fine.
I use it on all my guns also and have been for over 20 years.
DJ Niner is right on the money---everything he said about Break Free CLP has been my experience too.
Thanks guys that is reassuring. I used it on them yesterday so i feel abit more confident now, was scarred I might have put some bad stuff on my handguns
why worry? you used milspec clp on your milspec guns..... or maybe they arent ? hmmmmmQuote:

So far Kroil has worked good for me with a followup of 3in1 machine oil.
everyday on everything from the m9 to the m2hb
Please see the thread below with a Poll showing CLP as a very popular cleaner/protectant/lubricant:

I personally find CLP a great cleaner/protectant, but not the best lubricant. I always lightly apply a lubricant after cleaning and blow-drying with CLP. My favorites right now are Militec-1 and Slipstream.
