What lube do you use.

Militec-1 on all my firearms. Put in on and heat the weapon to operating temperature, either by firing, placing in the sun, or using a heat source (hair dryer) while not exceeding 150 degrees. Militec grease (a very thin film, please) on my Kel-Tec P3AT slide rails and hammer lug. Despite Kimber's admonitions, I will use Militec grease on the slide rails and hammer lug of my Eclipse Pro II after break-in. Both products are enjoying great success in Iraq and Afghanistan, after proper application. Militec is supplying Militec-1 and Militec grease, free of charge, to individual troops and/or units who ask for it and can not get it in a timely manner through procurement channels. BTW, I am in no way affiliated with Militec other than being a satisfied user. It has never let me down, on the job or off. For more information, please use the following link:www.militec.com

someone got one hell of a free plug. If i see it i might try it on my 22/45 first.

Use FP-10 or CLP.

I love the higher quality "all in one" products for firearm use.

I use Break Free CLP, RemOil and a car engine product ProLong for the rails.

I hope you're not being facetious....there's a bunch of guys on AR15.com that swear by motor oil.

FP-10 on the inside. CorrosionX on the outside. And a little Hoppes on my neck.

Iused to use only Rem oil but i have found CLP to be thicker and much better.

I used to use FP-10 exclusively. Then I got my CCW and learned that FP-10 doesn't work that well for me. It just won't stay put on my carry guns.

I have since been introduced to Mil-Tec. It just seems to stay put longer.

A carry gun that always needs a liberal amount of lube to run right is not a carry gun in my book.

Different strokes different folks I guess.

Agreed! That is exactly why I beleive an oil " used sparingly" that stays put is so important IMHO.

I don't want a oily-Wet carry gun. I also don't want a bone dry carry gun either.

No one has mentioned Gibbs Lubricant. A penetrating aerosol that really lubricates, dissolves & prevents rust; leaves my Kimber clean and baby soft. Darnest stuff I've ever used, and I know the military is getting into it even for full auto weapons; no sticky film to collect sand. I know of several police departments that have gone to it, Detroit for one.

Wilson I believe offers the best lube on the Market..

My gunsmith, an understudy of Mr. Marvel, packaged my Commander he built for me with a tube of Wilson grease and a tube of Wilson oil. He said that Wilson's lubes have been tested to offer the best lubrication under pressure. Wilson even made a video testing his lube against the competitors (I got it with my Wilson Protector - commander slide, officer frame) and his could not be beat. Maybe there are other products in the market that can offer the level of protectioin that Wilson's lubes have, but I KNOW for SURE that Wilson's lubes provide what I need. I have not seen any of the other lube manufactures demonstrating how much pressure their lube can stand up to. Until they do prove their product can do equal or better than Wilson, use Wilson.

My best to everyone!

I would think a firearm that can run bone dry is a perfect carry gun.

It would also make a good shtf gun.

Anything less is just for play.

FP-10 and Rem oil.If you need Astroglide or KY Jelly your pistol may be to old!!!!!!!

I don't own a handgun that won't run without lube for short periods.
I choose to lube my weapons...... for the long haul.

My Glock sees very little lube per the manufactures reccomendation.

As you stated earlier. Different strokes........

I am just curious....Do you CCW?

I use FP-10 in my carrygun. Some of the lube does run out, but most of it stays put-----enough to be reliable and lubed anyway. If I'm planning a range day, I'll add some more FP-10 even if it's not needed because I'm a lubrication worrier. For concealed carry though, I still think FP-10 does the trick. It doesn't give that smooth, fill-up-the-cracks, feeling that a good grease does, but I'm not convinced that's a good thing for a fighting gun.

TW25B grease on the rails.
