Hornady One Shot Gun Cleaner and Case Lube, 10 oz – Aerosol Dry Lube, with DynaGlide Plus – Clean, Non-Sticky and Easy to Use – Contains No Petroleum, Won't Contaminate Powder or Primers

Great stuff for a quick cleanup. I use it primarily on my handguns, right at the range when packing up for the day, where it serves well to remove carbon and unburned powder and leave behind a light protective lubricating and rust-preventing film. This is no substitute for a thorough annual bench cleaning, but it will keep your firearms clean and functioning well in between. No strong order or caustic solvents, either.

Super fast shipping - larger size can than what I could get locally.

Good and on time

Works great.

I'm a big fan of using OneShot from Hornady on all of my presses and dies. Yesterday was the first day I decided to really try it on firearms, I don't know how well a dry lube will hold up... but its not a primary home defense weapon so what the heck.For the dies/presses let me tell you a story. I had a nice Forster Co-Ax and a Hornady LNL AP. I was out of town for about a month and came home to surface rust on all my steel surfaces. Immediately I purchased a dehumidifier (reloading in a basement) and meticulously cleaned and oiled every surface. The problems slowed down, but they didn't stop and I had gunk buildup from powder getting all over my equipment and it required frequent cleaning. One Shot is expensive, but when I switched over the problems went away. On cleaning day I literally liberally BLAST a full can all over the F****ing place, get a couple towels and wipe it all up... done... Beats 3 or 4 hours of disassembly and scrubbing/cleaningOver the last couple of years ive gone to far more expensive dies than im used to, I couldn't imagine a $200-$300 die rusting, it would be devastating. They all get a good blast and a wipe down after every use, before being stored away. I still blast my old Lee dies every 6 months or so, even if I don't use them. No sense in letting them go to waste.

Good for preventing freeze up in cold weather

Cleans carbon fouling reasonably well with a short burst or two, thus conserving the spray. That's good, because it is quite expensive. I now bring a can with me anytime I go to the range. There, I might need something that can clean a bit as well as refresh the lubricant. It is useful on the reloading bench as well. Definitely still a five-star product after 7 months of frequent use.But it is mainly an excellent lubricant that can be a cleaner in a pinch. Why? Cost. And effectiveness.I can't see using this as a general cleaner very often, such as for the bore. W-a-a-a-y too expensive. Plus there are a number of solvents which will remove powder (carbon) and copper fouling much more easily and which are much less expensive. No, save this for cleaning and re-lubing the mechanism such as the trigger group, bolt group, hammer, striker, or whatever comprises the moving internals of your firearm. Apply it, let it dry, and see the effects of this excellent lube. It will save you the job of dissembly or the cost of having a gunsmith dissemble (or re-assemble!!) your gun.Even here, it might be cheaper to first thoroughly clean the mechanism with an aerosol no-residue gun solvent (or -same thing, really- non-chlorinated brake cleaner). Let it drain and dry, then apply One Shot in several bursts.The film of lubricant which it leaves is thin, dry, and VERY slick. Could be very good for lubing magazines and springs after cleaning with a solvent, since One Shot won't contaminate the primers once it dries.So I think it is good to spray on the internal mechanism of a gun, which is where it shines as a cleaner by removing any final traces of old gummed oil and grease, leaving a dry, rust-resistant film in their place. This film will not hold grit or dust. But I like to lube a very few places like slide rails on an autoloader, which see much heavier use, with some additional quality gun grease or oil. (I am sure One Shot would be adequate by itself for a short period of time.). The lack of any residual mess makes it handy for ccw guns. Plus a dry film will not grab onto lint from clothing, a problem with hanguns carried insude the waistband or in a pocket holster.I don't think the manufacturer would be using "cleaning" as a selling point when this is so obviously a unique and excellent lube, if there weren't so many shooters who want a CLP product. In the field or a camp, you can use virtually any gun oil as a cleaner if you have a rod or pull-thru, brush, and some patches. Will it do a great job? No. But it can get you shooting . I think most CLP products are like that. It is nice that One Shot can clean, but outside of cleaning the internal mechanism of a firearm, it is a best used as great lube, not as a great cleaner.Other uses include lubing the pivot points of folding knives and the moving parts of instruments such as calipers. Should find applications on autos or motorcycles as well.

I use Hornady One Shot primarily to protect and lubricate outdoor gear. That is not the limitation of its uses, however, I have used it to lubricate squeaky hinges and machinery parts, and it works very well for that. It is not a penetrating oil for freeing rusty nuts/bolts, but that is not what it was designed to do. Amazon sells other products for that - my favorite is Kroil.I learned about One Shot watching a video on my favorite internet video format in which the content creator did some unscientific, but real world testing on several lubrication/protection products and One Shot scored very high in his backyard tests; and if I remember correctly, scored at the top for rust protection.One Shot is a dry lubricant that goes on wet. It is obviously in an aerosol can, but dries fairly quickly, which is an advantage when lubricating and protecting outdoor gear. Because it dries, it doesn't tend to attract and hold as much dust as products that don't' dry. Dry lubricants of this type are not intended for high friction or rapidly moving, continuous cycling applications. Using them in those conditions can have detrimental effects. They are not your multi-purpose lubricants that can be used in every application, but when used for what they were intended, One Shot excels far above multi-purpose lubricants.I have and will continue to use One Shot for the applications I need it. When I first bought the product, it seemed more reasonably priced. Whether demand, or popularity, or notoriety has increased its price, I don't know, but now it is reserved for specific applications in my world and I'll use a more reasonably priced product to quite that squeaky door hinge.
