I read a positive post about "Slide Glide", but haven't used it myself. You can see their products at...

I've used Tetra grease for slides for over 10 years, it's great stuff. I recently switched to Weapon Shield for everything else that needs lubed.

I've been using Slide Glide Lite for a couple of months. As long as it doesn't get colder than 30-40 degrees it should work ok. I've also been toying with the idea of thinning Mobile-1 grease with a little Mobile-1 5w30. It's just one of those projects I haven't gotten to yet.

I did a test a while ago that started with Militec-1 and then added WeaponShield (and eventually in another thread I examined Gunzilla).
The first set of test reports can be found here "What lube is this". The second set of test reports can be found here...Product testing and review: Gunzilla In the end I've switched to WeaponShield for almost everything though I do like using Gunzilla for cleaning. I also have some of the LithiShield lithium grease that really seems to do the job for 1911 rails (just a little dab will do, I think my tub will probably last forever). |

Only grease that I will use. Full synthetic with AW/EP chemistry. Specifically designed for guns and to not slow down moving parts in cold weather. |

When I use a grease, I use GunSlick Gun Grease...stays put and is nice and smooth when racking the slide My dad gave an old tube of it to me out of a box of gun stuff he has. Works well
But I usually just use breakfree because it's easier. Though it's annoying when it starts to ooze out of the back of the slide after working it a few times... |

I found some Miltec1 @$15.00 a bottle, was reading the instructions and it said to heat up the area, do you have to do this? Did buy some Eezox for Guns and 1 for Knife. Boy do they stink.

In another thread ( Press ram sticky ) I recently asked if anyone used molybdenum disulfide to lube their press. Didn’t get any answers, but this thread here prompted me to look for Dri Slide. Sure ‘nuf, this stuff is recommended for presses, as well as slides and a wide range of other applications. I have a small bottle of straight molybdenum disulfide that I thought about trying, but with Dri Slide’s added corrosion inhibitors, maybe I’ll buy some of it.
First google hit Dri Slide
