Ballistol sucks. Stinks. Doesn't clean, gets gummy. No good for slides. I don't see the point.
I have had good luck with Ballistol on my older mil surp guns where I shoot corrosive ammo. It works good on keeping my bores rust free and the exterior surfaces as well. Its good stuff for what I have used it for. And compared to other gun chemicals, the very anise like smell is very spouse friendly. Compared to Ed's Red, it never got me kicked out to the garage.
