I have Eezox and ballistol that I use on everything at the moment.

 

What do you guys use on your 1911's? So many mixed opinions on lube...

Expect mixed replies also. I say use what you like and just be aware that at this time of year shooting outdoors that temp sensitive lube can effect operation.

 

If you want a vote, I'd say Mobile 1, is one that I use and like.

I love Mobil 1 but I read somewhere auto products "may" cause cancer with excessive contact.

I just use weapons grease from amazon on my slide.

Hmm I think I have some mobil1 synthetic laying around in the garage. Maybe ill give that a shot.

 

Thanks harry

Yea I was thinking maybe slip2000 weapon grease too. Saw that on amazon last night for around 13 bucks

just don't apply too much on the slide

Slip2K. I put that sh!t on everything.

 

Some people like to use grease on blowback-operated pistols, I tried grease for a while, but did not percieve much advantage over regular Slip2000.

IMHO, you do not need special lube for individual guns. One quality lube should work for all. Use any high quality lube you want.

 

As a rule, stay away from the "does everything" lubes like CLP and Remoil. IMHO, they do an OK job at everything, and therefore do a great job at nothing.

If you could see the cabinet over my bench, I've got a collection of every cleaner, lubricant and protectant known to firearms, including those that cross-polinate from my obsession with fast cars! LOL. Quite frankly, I've moved to favor WeaponShield CLP, grease, and oil on just about every one of my shooters.

I don't have a 1911 (I know, I know....what's wrong with me?) but I use Lucas gun oil and it is pretty impressive I must say. Im pretty happy with it, Lucas knows their oils. It was designed to handle the abuse of full auto machine guns and not evaporate with the high heat.

I use Tetra grease.

I thought that was just used oil that was carcinogenic? I.e. fresh oil is A-OK? IDK though...

On my 1911 I use hoppes gun grease and militec gun oil

I'm not a doctor & I don't play one on TV.

Google it yourself.

Better safe than sorry.

And remember, be safe out there.

Ballistol is a great cleaner but breaks down as a lubricant. I'm a grease fan and use TW25B exclusively. I've found it to be perfect for lubricating the action as well as the contact areas and the frame rails. A bonusis that its made right here in NJ and I like supporting our local guys.

Is that similar to slip2k grease?

I'm not sure, I've never used slip2k.

would you happen to know if I can pick this up directly from their warehouse in east rutherford? Just saw their website and it looks really promising

I'll second the TW25B, great stuff. Use it on my 1911's with no issues.

I doubt it, I don't think they do walk ins. I'm fairly sure you can buy direct thru their website though

 

Nut juice!

This is all I have been using on my milsurplus rifles and postiols for years now.

If it's good enough to put in a 30k car then it can lub a firearm very well and hold up to heat and alittle goes

along way and saves you from spending money on over priced bull crap products that dont do have as good a job.

 

Hodige

I use CLP on everything and Mobil 1 grease on Garands. If you're happy with the stuff you use that's fine.

I use TW25B in the warmer months for the rails. It's a lighter gun grease, but works very well in warmer temps. In the cooler months I use Slip2000. Slip2000 is awesome gun oil and works great on the slide rails.

I've used G96 gun oil (kinda thin oil), FP10 oil (kinda thick oil), tw25 (grease)...They all work great....It is all in the mind of the beholder as they say....Just use it!

Amsoil 20-50 racing oil..

Jergens. Ohhh I'm sorry wrong forum

Anyone ever used Lucas white lithium grease before?

A friend of mine told me when he was in his Basic Course in the USMC they told him to use Brylcreem (a hair product) as a field expedient lubricant.

Tetra grease works really well for me in my 1911. I have a syringe tube of Wilson Combat slide grease that I haven't used yet, but is supposed to be pretty good as well.

I use mobile 1 as well or any full synthetic oil that I have for my oil changes.

CLP is great if you are in the Army and need cleaner, lubricant and protector in one - it means two less bottles to carry. But if you have the luxury of being at home there is plenty of other stuff that will do the job better.

 

Oh, and I use Gun Butter.
