fortyofforty Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 I think every forum needs the perennial "lubrication" thread. So, which do you prefer? I have been using NYOil on my handguns for many years now and am quite happy. It is clear, so even if some leaks or gets on my clothing, it doesn't leave a big black stain. I also like Militec products, and the company is very military and law enforcement friendly. The folks at Shooter's Choice are also very friendly to law enforcement, and seem to be good people. For me, I use so little lubricant on my GLOCKs I probably have enough to last my lifetime. That doesn't stop me from occasionally trying something new or different. I load it into needle oilers, and get the drops right where they belong without much excess. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spats McGee Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 A few years ago, I decided that there must be something better than the RemOil that I'd used for umpteen years. I switched to WeaponShield and have been pretty pleased with both the oil and the grease. I may try something else when my WS runs out, but I do like it better than basic RemOil.

Jason D Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 I use whatever strikes my fancy at the time. Lately it has been Lucas products. If a gun has a pair of grips on it, it always has Barricade under them. If it needs grease, it's Rigg stainless +p. I like Kell Lube for knife actions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KBKEITH Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 For CLP I like the low odor stuff like Weapons Shield and Gunzilla. For grease I use Mill-Comm TW25B. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KFC Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 (edited) Right now, Slip2000 EWL just because that's what I bought last. It doesn't stand out as anything special and I'm not married to it. I use cheap white lithium grease for grease. Edited October 4, 2017 by KFC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It works fine, but it's black and if it gets on your clothing, you're done. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JJHNSN Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 Much more important than the brand of lubricant, is consistent use of it and use of it not sparingly. I've seen more gun failures due to underlubrication than any other reason. It always makes me chuckle when guys bring 1911s to training classes and they choke up and in a friendly way I ask them, "When is the last time you lubed it?" Answer: "Oh, about three months ago or so." ARs and 1911s love to be run more wet than dry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sgt 127 Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 (edited) I'm really liking the G96 Milspec CLP. Seems to do a fine job. Also, Ballistol has become my go to cleaner and wipe down. I love that stuff. Dang....that picture was bigger than I intended... Edited October 9, 2017 by Sgt 127 Comment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewell44 Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 I use Battleborn for my pistol slides, CLP and good old fashion Remoil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fortyofforty Posted October 10, 2017 Author Share Posted October 10, 2017 Anyone else use a mixture of grease and oil? According to Grant Cunningham: General Rule of Lubrication: oil for rotating parts, grease for sliding parts that carry a load 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hollowpoint Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 I got a free sample of weapon shield in the little needle-like dispenser a while ago. Seems to work fine. So I use that and M-Pro 7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jame Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 I always use Hoppe's #9 for cleaning, and I usually just leave a thin film of the stuff when I'm done. I've never run into any problems that I can speak of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wishoot Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 I'm old school. I've been using Ballistol for a couple of years and like it (except the odor). Otherwise, I use my own concoction consisting of equal parts Marvel Mystery oil, Mobile 1 and Honda ATF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad you haven't had any issues with it, but I'd still rather use a product specifically intended and designed to lubricate moving parts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, I don't generally try to talk guys into or out of what they're using on their weapons. I alway thought it was up to the individual, and if someone wants suggestions about anything, I'm willing to share mine. By all means, do whatever works for you. After all, that's what I do!

Perhaps you misunderstood my statement of fact--that Hoppe's #9 is a solvent and not a lubricant--with an effort to talk you into or out of something. I don't care what you use. You can use warm spit for all I care. I merely stated my own reasoning for what I prefer to do. Thanks for sharing what you use, and I'll continue to state facts so that people reading these boards can actually learn something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
