I have been using Frog Lube on all my pistols, works well for me. I found this link yesterday, and thought you might find it interesting.

That is very interesting and surprising at the results.

Frog Lube probably works about as good as a dozen other lubricants. They also can scientifically prove that they work. For me, Ballistol has been proven to work for over 100 years, is earth friendly and safe to drink if you want. Mobile One mixed with some ATF works great and is much cheaper than Frog Lube. If someone wants to use it, more power to him. Personally I think it is a solution looking for need.
When I bought into frog lube, I went all out with the paste, liquid, and spray bottle. I have since switched back to mobile 1 full synthetic engine oil in bore of my heavier use guns such as my AR and my M&Ps. The oil just seems like it makes the bore easier to clean, especially since most of what I shoot is cast bullets.

I started using Frog Lube when we first bought handguns 3-4 months ago. I'm sure most of the gun-specific cleaners/lubes do a fine job. Certain aspects of Frog Lube happened to appeal to me, the non-toxic nature being right at the top of the list.
Many threads mention the expense of Frog Lube and I don't doubt that it's more expensive than other lubes, but if you calculate the cost/round or cost/ month, etc., any treatment cost would be in the noise.
Once you do the initial treatment with Frog Lube the amount used per cleaning thereafter is minuscule: a few squirts down the barrel to loosen any residue, wipe down and a tiny dab of paste at each of the normal lube points. I might be spending a few dollars each time I clean our three handguns.

Good point about the paste at the lube points. That had not occurred to me.
Anything that is complicated to apply, and/or can cause problems with a firearm if not applied just so, just should not be used.
My lifetime supply for lube is 2 1 quart cans; one of Mobil 1 lithium grease (slide rails and such) and one of Mobil 1 synthetic motor oil for things that turn. I also have a big can of Break Free, and assorted cleaning stuff. I use hypos of various sizes to apply both grease and oil, those plus the ever useful silicon cloth completes the necessaries of gun servicing. For really cold conditions the Break Free is usually the answer, but the M1 grease is quite good in the cold.

I think Frog Lube works great, I use it all all of my guns.
