I've never tried the fireclean, maybe I should try it.

I’ve never tried Froglube. But I have heard a lot of good things about it. I have added 2 photos of my S&W 627. I have a couple thousand rounds thru it. It is not perfect but it is still pretty clean and the effort to get it this clean after shooting is lessened by quite a bit.

I applied Fireclean to my 686 after the revolver shoot because you mentioned using it with good results on your wheel guns. I haven’t shot it since then, so haven’t been able to shoot that gun again since then thought, so haven’t seen the results.

I don’t mind my guns showing signs of use. That said, the stainless finish of my 686 shows where the carbon and other buildup is.

cleaning that area around the breech of the barrel on a revolver is a hard to reach place.
ok, i'll pick up some fireclean next time I see some at LGS   

I also tried some stuff I found on amazon called Grizzly Lube
from the consistency and smell, its very similar to Froglube.  seemed to work well too.

Fireclean occasionally has sales on their website.  I don't recall if they had one for Labor Day though.  The stuff is actually on the pricier side, but the little bottle goes a long way.  There was some big dustup a while back where someone did a chemical analysis and alleged that Fireclean was essentially vegetable oil.  I think Crisco.  I still have a couple of bottles of Fireclean left, but I admit that I was tempted to try out Crisco vegetable oil. 

Fireclean states that their product makes cleaning the BCG so easy that only a paper towel is needed.  I have tried and that get's things decently clean, but I can't say that it's that much better than any other gun oil that I've used.  I also haven't gone that far without a decent cleaning to test things.  Longest I've gone is maybe 2,000 rounds, but that included at least a pull of the BCG for a quick wipedown and reapplication of oil. 

Can't recommend Fireclean enough.  Still on my first bottle after 3 years.....

I bought 2 bottles on Amazon a couple of years ago and I am still on my first bottle. Free shipping with prime.

i use FrogLube on all my pieces, can be bought on Amazon and Ebay.
A little FrogLube goes a long way.
FrogLube's solvent is great at removing gunk, but kinda pricey compared to others solvents and compared to FrogLube itself.
It seems Froglube continues to work even when in storage,  i will go back to check my pieces after a few months in the safe and find that more grime has lifted off of my dirtier pieces.

Just have to be careful to not leave excess FrogLube or let excess get into all the nooks and crannies.
And if your piece is already primed with oils and traditional lubes, gotta be sure to thoroughly clean that stuff off before converting to and applying FrogLube.

But nothing, no amount of maintenance or products used is more detrimental to your piece than actually firing it. 

Main reasons why I like FrogLube:
1.  The FrogLube is affordable, little goes a long way, although the solvent is a little pricey compared to the FrogLube itself.
2. FrogLube is non-toxic, smells good, like Listerine mouthwash, doesn't contain all the synthetic stuff, most of the time i end up applying it with my bare fingers and wipe off the excess.
3.  It was created by a Marine for Marines, that's why it's called FrogLube.  So you are supporting a good cause when you buy it.
