Already got these on hand. Specifically to be used in Glocks. Attached File Attached File @foxtrot08 |

Between Teflon and moly… I’d probably go Teflon. Or do one of each on a separate Glock and let us know which lasts longest. I remember trying one of those nano boron lubes, the trigger felt great on my G17 for the first twenty rounds or so, then all the boron apparently left.

Quoted: I prefer oil because it runs of and carries whatever is in it away. Add a few more drops every few hundred rounds I got away from oil because I got tired of it weeping inside the holster and turning my pistol into a fuzzball. Also it attracted more sandy dust and fuzz inside my holster since switching to grease that annoyance has gone away. I also switched to grease in the AR I do not have oil accumulating in the receiver extension of running down the barrel

Super Lube due to the PTFE. Once the oil or grease evaporates, there's still a "layer" of teflon left behind for lubrication. There's lots of good stuff out there, but I recently switched all my firearms over to Super Lube, I think it's highly underrated for firearm applications. I recently read a short article about a clock maker who stated, Super Lube was the only lubricant used that would be there in a year after it was applied. Take that for what it's worth. |

I've been using Super Lube for years. I use the grease and the thick oil, and for some applications like shotgun magazine tubes I use the spray grease. I've serviced customer guns and the Super Lube was still there and working 10 years later when I serviced them again. The oil stays right where it's put and neither the oil or grease will evaporate, run off, creep away, sling off, or wash off. The grease is ideal for a CCW pistol since it does stay put. I once experimentally greased my Kahr Arms K9 and carried it for a year without cleaning the action, just the barrel. The gun was still lubed and clean after a year. I also decided to try it as a clock lubricant. Standard clock oils gets really dirty and dry out or creep away. The Super Lube oil stay put and an electric mantel Westminster chime clock can go years longer without cleaning or damage caused by wear. On these older electric chime clocks with standard clock oil you better be cleaning and re-lubing every two years MAX or they just eat themselves up. |

One key place where I really noticed how well Super Lube works is on the double action strut of Colt double actions revolvers. With most ordinary lubes I could hear a very slight squeak as the DA was slowly cycled. Even with a dab of STP Oil Treatment still had it. With Super Lube the squeak went away and stayed away for years of use. |

Many oils ran out and stained my clothes when I first started carrying too. If the gun is in a well shielded area like a holster covered with multiple layers of cloth IWB, there is no reason an appropriate grease cannot be used. Many argue that the oils leave anyways with grease and that the thickeners remain, all I know is that grease works for me and my guns. Now I want to buy a tube of superlube.

I have been running grease for awhile now with no ill effects. I like it is super easy to clean everything is basically wipe off old reapply new then assemble anything that is excess will ooze out from running the slide wipe off the excess then go. Now I have cleaner holster less of that fuzzy dust build up that eventually sounds like you have sand in the holster when drawing.

They want 15 bucks for shipping!. I bought a couple of the tubes at harbor freight. I like it so far. |

Damn, twist arm why don’t ya. 19$ |

I have been using super lube for years now on many different guns. I mix it with Tungsten Disulfide WS2 powder for triggers and sears, AR bolt lugs, etc. A little goes a long way I usually use a Qtip and apply a light smear where I want it. Use a small metal punch to dab a bit on a sear face or something. Odorless grease, clear non staining, multi temp rating. High quality stuff. |
| I use the Super Lube in the same monoject you have in the pic. Otherwise, I use Klotz R50 synthetic 2-stroke oil when I think oil is more appropriate. Why? Just because I always have plenty around, it's bright red and I can see where it's going, and it smells racy. |
| Slight thread hijack: Has anyone used Super Lube's metal protectant and corrosion inhibitor? |

I only use oil on hard-to-reach places or an area where I want it to seep in- trigger pins and the like. Even then, it's grease 95% of the time. OP: I've been using Magnalube for fifteen years or so, but Super Lube is good stuff, too. Whatever you like, buy it cheap, stack it deep. |

Thanks for the link! I was a little afraid of searching for "super lube" for fear of tainting my search history even more Heh -taint-

Quoted: Quoted: If you look on the Synco web site they list the local stores that carry it, and there's a good number of them. Even harbor freight has Super Lube. Sounds even better than Amazon. |

Quoted: Does grease just gum up the gun eventually? I have been using a few drops of motor oil on the frame frame rails, the parts of the barrel that engage during lockup, and the tip of the cruciform that releases the striker. No idea if I am doing it right or wrong. Non-synthetic grease gums up over time. I have found this to not be the case with synthetic grease. Don't use motor oil, it's too thick for guns. Use synthetic transmission fluid. It's slicker, thinner & won't evaporate. There's also products like Trigger Slick & so forth. No clue if they're good or not. Lucas makes a terrific gun oil in a small bottle. It's synthetic as well. Here's a good article: https://www.pewpewtactical.com/best-gun-oil-grease/ |

Quoted: One of these guntuber attention whores should make a video lubing their Glock with crisco or something to show us how we are overthinking it all. Attached File |

I use one of about 8 different ones that I have on all my Glocks. No more migrating oil ever again for me. |

Both are good economical options. I use mobil 1 synthetic grease and mix it with thin synthetic motor oil (0W-20) which I always have on hand for my car. Works well in my AR's and hammer fired pistols. I also use this mixture for long storage of firearms for rust prevention as it stays on and won't break down over time. |
