Damsel’s Para Ordinance Warthog still has the occasional hang up; it did it a couple times as she put 100 rounds through it at the range yesterday. At Rob’s suggestion, we purchased some Strike Hold cleaner/dry lubricant. After our weekly shootout, we came home and used Strike Hold for the first time to clean and lube all of the guns.

I have to say that the cleaning aspect of Strike Hold was phenomenal. Up until this weekend, we have been using solvent to clean off residue and light gun oil to lube. Damsel also tried some of the Para-supplied lubrication. Compared to the solvent, the Strike Hold lifted off most residue and particles with literally half of the effort.
After cleaning, we spritzed a little Strike Hold on the slides and moving mechanisms for lubrication. After wiping off the excess, we put the guns away for another week. Next week, after Damsel takes the Warthog to the range, we will probably have another product report on Strike Hold. We’re hoping to be able to report that the Warthog fired the 100 rounds without any problems.
A product description and a link to where we ordered our Strike Hold follows:
STRIKE HOLD CLEANER – DRY LUBRICANT – PROTECTANT
Strike Hold is a fast acting penetrant that immediately cuts through dirt, rust, carbon, and scale to quickly get into metal parts that have become frozen by or encrusted with corrosion and oxidation.
This product provides a long-lasting Dry Lubricant, which reduces friction and will not build up or become brittle. As a demoisturant, Strike-Hold helps dry out wet electrical gears and other water sensitive parts. As a protectant, this product provides a shield-like film against the effects of moisture and corrosion, even against salt water, while actually REPELLING SAND, DIRT AND DUST.
Strike-Hold contains no CFCs or other ozone depleting substances. Strike-Hold is non-flammable, safe to use as directed and highly recommended by The Outdoor Guy.
