Anybody still use Hoppes #9?

[Marksman]

For a while Hoppe's made an air freshener in the shape of a #9 bottle that you could hang in your gun room or anywhere you wanted the aroma of Hoppe's. If I remember they were kinda pricey, don't know if they survived.

As a newer shooter it's all I have used. I like the smell so much my assistant gave me Hoppe's 9 car air fresheners. Makes the commute so much more fun.

I have used it for years, still do.

I've uses Hoppes #9 over 40 + years, and the unique aroma drove three Ex-wives out of the room, on a real good day they left the house, every time I uncorked the bottle. Bro I'm sticking with a winner.

Ps. it also does a good job of cleaning your firearms as well.

Yes, Works good. Smells good.

Hoppes has been my primary gun cleaning solvent for over 32 years. Lately I've adopted Kroil to clean the lead out of .22 LR barrels and cylinders as the Kroil pops it right out! I lube with Birchwood-Casey Synthetic gun oil or Rem Oil with good old CLP as a stand-by.

Have not found anything better than #9, and I have tried a lot of them.

 

[Rule 303]

Barrels and Bores and general cleaning of burned poweder residue. Other than that, Breakfree CLP or LSA.

#9 and Break-Free, that's all I still use!

 

[Fishslayer]

I use Hoppes for most things.

I've found that Gunslick foaming bore cleaner works better after shooting moly coated black bullets tho...

 

[CajunBass]

I'll use whatever happens to be handy. Hoppes, Break Free, WD-40 (GASP), doesn't matter much.

As for the smell? It smells like Hoppes No 9. Nothing special about it to me. It's not good. It's not bad. It's just Hoppes.

 

[AirForceShooter]

my bench has Hoppes #9 and Rem Oil.
It also has carb cleaner and Mobil One.

Whatever works

Use #9 after every use, love the smell too. Not sure about the cologne thing, my wife sends me outside. Now that I think about it, it might sell.

 

[jimmyj]

I still use it for bore and chamber cleaning plus after shave cologne.
S&W doesn't not recommend it on the "J" frame stainless steel airweights. Something about it bad on the clearcote finish.

 

[domstar]

yep hoppes kroil and rennesceance(sp) wax.

 

[G-Mac]

I love the smell of Hoppe's #9 in the morning.

 

[Steve in Vermont]

Still use it for bores and chambers. Use Break-Free for the rest of the gun.

Been using it for over 45 years on all my guns and I still have several rifles, revolvers and shotguns that are in great shape. Don't see any reason to change now.

 

[white cloud]

I love the smell of Hoppe's #9 in the morning.

this is the essence of truth. i love the smell of the stuff. especially after a day in the hunting fields.

probably not good for you. i do not use #9 nickel guns as i have heard bad things about that.

 

[SFCE7]

Use to 25 years ago, now I use Shooter's Choice and M-Pro7

 

[VAPA]

I buy it by the quart, wish they made an air freshner that you could hang in the truck.
