  No. 9 Synthetic Blend Bore Cleaner

Hoppe's No. 9 Synthetic Blend Bore Cleaner is especially designed for the modern firearm and is built on the great tradition started by Frank Hoppe in 1903.

• Superior removal of carbon, lead, and copper fouling
• Safe on anodized aluminum, titanium, steel, chrome, nickel, plastic, polycarbonate and rubber
• Same great traditional Hoppe's 9 smell
• Biodegradable / Non-flammable

Food grade Lubriplate, a very thin film will lube anything I need. Food grade won't wash off either. It will work on a single shot or full auto BMG 50 Wont wash off at high temp or with detergents. Not for dusty areas like the middle east, but excellent for this region.

The original says solvent on the bottle and they seem to have a wide variety that I've never seen.
That's not saying much as I've been known to lube with a small amount of plain old grease on slides and such and have used wd40 to clean and lube in a pinch!

I am beginning to think the original # 9 may not be good for some plastics though. Otherwise why would they develop the synthetic blend?
My .38 has some copper fouling and I'm gonna get something stronger than Hoppes one day soon. I'll be sure to be careful with that stuff vs plastics though as I'm not familiar with it.

For copper, give MPro7 copper remover a go.

I would suggest using something other than Hoppe's for your CCW.
Anyone who has ever smelled it before is going to guess your secret.
