Terribly disappointed in Froglube

Good luck bro, hope it works out for you.....if not, there are plenty of other products out there.

What steps? warming it up? Just have to do that first couple of times. Thereafter cleaning is much easier since nothing sticks.

Yep...that. Two or three drops of RandCLP and I'm done. Clean up is easy as well, usually just a wioe down with the swabs.

Used it and found it to be more work than its worth. Just my humble opinion. It did start to get sticky and was slowing the action down enough to indicate to me sooner or later the action will freeze up. Was a tad bit too close to a nightmare to remove completely.

Went back to my regular lube I get from Wilson and never looked back. Something about the product having to be put on so precisely and if you mess up the application your gun may not go bang is really the reason I backed away. Why make it complicated? Just keep your guns wet all the time and you will have no problems. Except perhaps some oil stains on your clothes....

KISS principle always prevails..

I'm a fan of Froglube and use it exclusively in my ARs. After the initial application it is just like any other lube. The main advantages for me is that the lube stays put on the bolt carrier group when my ARs are stored vertically in my safe (doesn't run like all other lubes) and the ease of cleanup. I haven't had any issues with gumming up but then again I followed directions and didn't install dripping wet like other lubes. I have only used the liquid version and found that it meets my every need.

I use FP10 on my pistols and will continue to do so because it does a great job.

As far as the OP's issue with customer service, that is certainly disappointing!

Hell, I would call them. Alot.

I agree, call, ask for management. In my home based small business, while I would never intentionally ignore an email, phone calls get immediate attention.

I tried it on my CCO over a year ago, and it worked pretty well at first, but after several range trips and re-application, it became gummy. I don't recall exactly how I prepped the parts, but I'm sure I used a liberal amount of Hoppes.

I decided that I didn't like the sluggishness of the slide, so I cleaned it well with Hoppes and went back to FP-10, but the sluggishness hasn't been completely eliminated. Luckily, it's still 100% reliable.

It almost seems to me that people who shoot more often are experiencing the gumminess.

I love every year when new lubricating potions hit the market. I read an article written by the editor of handgunner magazine a few years ago and it said the best oil you can use is cheap free of available. I use whatever oil i can find on m guns and i grease them with wheel bearing grease. Think about it. How many of us have our fathers, grandfathers, and great grandfathers guns? They still work fine right? So they used 3N1 oil wd40 motor oil ect. We dont need to reinvent the wheel. round wheels are fine
