Are these two basically made for the same uses? I have been using Ballistol for a long time, but I see that CLP seems much more popular, not that this matters, but I was curious if there was something I was missing, or if they are just different products with the same use.
Thanks.
Here's one person's review of 46 different products. Although his primary focus is looking for a rust inhibitor it's still a good read.

Those of you using WD-40, remember it's not truly a lubricant. It works well to unstick what's stuck but that doesn't mean it's good for greasing metal parts that will rub together frequently at high speed and under heat. If you use WD-40, do yourself a favor and let it dry out (maybe even spray it out with an air hose) then generously apply a lubricant.
Did some reading on Weaponshield, and it looks pretty impressive based on the reviews. Looks like a good lube, but what are you using as a solvent if you use Weaponshield as a lubricant?
Hey James. Make sure to let us know what you think. I'd like to know if the grease is worth it. I use the regular with a needle oiler I made. Let us know. Did you see weapon shield take a pound off of the trigger pulls when added to the hammer sear? I'll attest that ,that is true.
