Strike Hold is very good at protecting electronics, it's a dielectric. Strike Hold as a lubricant you wipe off excess and leaves a dry film, which is idea for sandy conditions. It does however need to reapplied more often, when used as a lubricant. I only use it on my magazines and electric components.

[@choppermike3329]

Another great comparison. I've been using Hoppes #9 since the 70s and it has consistently performed very well. I've also had excellent results with Break Free. Just started using Ballistol in the last few years and I'm happy with it's results also. Appreciate your tests and they are entertaining to watch also. Thanks Magdad. 👍🏻

[@357magdad]

Thanks Mike! I'm glad you enjoyed the video!

[@liljoeii6091]

I never used anything like that I wouldn't even know what I would use it on but I enjoy watching your videos and learning thank you

[@357magdad]

Thanks for watching Joe!

[@johnkelley9877]

Thanks for the review. The comparison test revealed quite a lot about the Strike Hold CLP.

[@357magdad]

Thanks John!

[@craigmiller8902]

Excellent comparison. I always scan your videos to see if there is a new review. I have been curious about Strikehold, but your review answered my concerns well. Hoppes #9 is the best for cleaning, although a few others are also pretty good. You make outstanding videos. Thanks!

[@357magdad]

Thanks Craig! I'm glad the video was helpful!

[@not2fast4u2c]

I like seeing new and different types products like these

[@357magdad]

Lighting off the gun powder is fun!

[@patjohnson3100]

Yes, it is helpful. I've been using Hoppes 9 for decades, and I've watched your earlier comparisons. Hoppes seems to be the best for dedicated powder residue removal. Glad I've been doing something right for a change. But CLP products also have value for lubricating and protecting for longer term storage. I'm always interested in new lube products. A fair test. Thanks.

[@357magdad]

Thanks Pat! I use Hoppes #9 for cleaning the barrel and cylinder and a good CLP for the rest of the firearm.

[@stephenbridges2791]

It's hard to beat Hoppe's. Works great and I love the smell. Been using it for over 50 years, without complaint.

[@357magdad]

They even make Hoppes air fresheners!

[@Hammerback0]

I put a dab on my neck daily after a shave.

[@andyc972]

Thanks Magdad, a thorough and fair review, I would be interested in seeing the 4 way showdown !

[@357magdad]

I'm gonna try to work on the CLP showdown this weekend!

[@tommyabernathy9880]

Perfect test! I was looking for something like this, glad I found it. Thank you. (Subscribed)

[@357magdad]

I'm glad you liked the video and subscribed Tommy! Check out my CLP test playlist: kzbin.info/aero/PL2LUCgmdqpXPcOX5vW-ztLtmLxr-GLnce

[@davidmadison5582]

I've been using it for over a decade. It's very excellent. I haven't used anything else. Also goes a LONG way

[@357magdad]

Thanks David!

[@larrydemaar409]

Nice review, very fair. The showdown sounds great!

[@357magdad]

Thanks Larry!

[@johnmclaurin]

Interesting test…hard to beat Hoppes!

[@357magdad]

I agree John!

[@nycupperes]

My favorite cleaner is M-Pro 7 and oil is Weapon Sheild.

[@357magdad]

Thanks for watching! Check out my latest CLP review: kzbin.info/www/bejne/e4uak3mwd8mNf5Y

[@ScoutCrafter]

Apparently Radco makes the CLP that is current military issue. Amazon sells it under Radcolube- Like all other products that have multiple uses it is compromised. Great test and video!

[@357magdad]

I'll have to put Radcolube on my Christmas wish list!

[@tonylenge424]

Good review, thanks.

[@357magdad]

Thanks Tony!

[@mikecurtis2585]

Great video always nice to learn new things!!

[@357magdad]

Thanks Mike!

[@davidurfer7632]

You forgot to measure smell. Hoppes No. 9 could be sold as cologne. It smells like freedom and fun! Any contender would have to clean as good AND smell as good! Thanks for the comparison.

[@357magdad]

They sell even Hoppes air fresheners!

[@bigvicsworkshop]

Nice review...fair and balanced! Good stuff sir!

[@357magdad]

Thanks Vic!

[@IrishLion-re8bu]

DEFINITE SHOWDOWN 👍

[@357magdad]

Video coming soon!

[@davidfuertes1973]

I know some old timers (like my Gramps) that swore by 3 in one as lubricant for there forearms and either rubbing alcohol or WD40 for cleaning . From what I’ve observed my gramps and my pops fire arms never failed . What’s your take on these products.

[@357magdad]

Every time I use 3in1 the smell takes me back to hanging out with my dad while he cleaned his shotgun! The bore brush probably did more cleaning than the alcohol or WD-40.

[@davidhelmuth6654]

I’m no expert… That being said I have spent some time with this kind of stuff. Only my opinion, but I don’t feel that anything will do as good a job as something that was made for that job. I’m not going to use motor oil to remove copper fouling. Just an example. Most CLP’s work great for the range or in field use. But opinions very from person to person. Great video all the same. Thank you

[@357magdad]

Thanks for watching David! A lot of folks rely on CLP's as a do-it-all. When first got started target shooting I was given a lot of conflicting advice, so I came up with these tests.

[@onionhead5780]

Side note: Hoppes is one of my favorite smells.

[@357magdad]

They even make Hoppes air fresheners!

[@setdown2]

Yes show down at high noon... More reviews on other things ..let's see who's just talk and fluff and who's the real deal...🖖

[@357magdad]

Thanks Chuck! Showdown coming soon!

[@johnmclaurin]

Magda’s, what did you come up with for lathe tools?

[@357magdad]

You'll see my modified tools in this Sunday's episode!

[@Traderjoe]

Does WD40 remove any burnt powder?

[@357magdad]

Along with a brass brush it would probably do as well as most CLPs.

[@Traderjoe]

My cousin is a retired cop and he swears that he completely soaks his gun in it and has been doing it since he started and was told by older cops that they all did it. He swears by it

[@TheCleric42]

Where’s Chuck? Doesn’t he have a cap gun to clean?

[@357magdad]

Chuck will definitely be in the next couple episodes!

[@mmsizzlak]

I've had some gunsmiths swear by strike hold not as a pure cleaner but more of a lubricant that sort of cleans and dries with a film to coat parts one would normally wet-oil up (like slide rails)... Does anyone know if it even dry lubes as well as I've been told?

[@357magdad]

Thanks for watching!

[@garyryman4947]

Tough to beat the classics. Hoppe’s and WD40.

[@357magdad]

A lot of old timers swear by both!

[@larryborkstrom3580]

Yes I'll like you showdown

[@357magdad]

Video coming soon Larry!

[@glengrossnickle4985]

I am needing to send you some pictures. I have a knife I need to take apart and so far I haven't gotten it apart. If you could look at it and maybe give me an idea. My list of emails got washed so could I get yours again. Thanks for the help.

[@357magdad]

[@planejet42]

Try Seafoam deep creep!

[@357magdad]

I'll put it on the list!

[@nunya1328]

Another worthless product shot down! Thanks for the video! If it can't do the first thing in your cleaning routine, no need to even buy it.

[@357magdad]

Many of the CLPs I've tested cannot clean burn powder residue as well as Hoppes #9.

[@nunya1328]

@@357magdad I think I have seen most of your videos. I personally use Hoppe's #9 and finish with Breakfree or Clenzoil. I also use non detergent 30 on some old revolvers. Love the videos!

[@rawbacon]

Hoppe's No. 9 is The Nectar Of The Gods, I drink at least a pint everyday.

[@357magdad]

It is hard to go wrong with good old Hoppes #9!

[@rogerstlaurent8704]

I have seen Hoppes #9 but not the other kind of gun cleaning products It looks like to me Hoppes is the better cleaning Product for cleaning inside of a gun barrel good review and different now lets make a video of Mr Chucks cleaning his Desert Eagle Handgun With Hoppes #9 LOL ....hey take care see you on the next video

[@357magdad]

I wish Chuck had a Desert Eagle!
