I received a free sample and posted the following on the 1911 Board:
I received my sample bottle of FP-10 this week (thank you George) and conducted the following unscientific test. I selected an S&W 4566 that had been retired by a friend due to frame/slide galling. I carefully removed all previous lube with brake cleaner and placed it in a padded bench vise minus barrel, recoil spring and guide. It was placed in the vice at approximately a 70 degree angle and I used an RCBS trigger pull gauge to measure the effort required to start the slide upward from rest. With no lube the resistance was measured at 26 oz. I then lubed the slide rails with the following products and measured resistance: Break-Free CLP, Rem Oil, Tetra Oil and finally FP-10. I was carefull to thoroughly clean the slide between tests with brake cleaner and was also carefull to, as nearly as possible, apply equal amounts of each product. The results:
Slide dry/no lube 26 oz.
Break-Free CLP 24 oz.
Rem Oil 22 oz.
Tetra Oil 22 oz.
FP-10 18 oz.
Wow! what a difference!
Not a scientific test, by any means, but enough to convince me!
Great product George and you've got a convert. Thanks for the opportunity to test it.

After my own testing and reviewing corrosion test results, I now use it on all my weapons.
