I got a bottle of Ed Brown Products firearm lube with my Ed Brown 1911. It's the only lube use on all my pistols. It is a synthetic oil and a couple of drops is all it takes. Figure that bottle will last a while. Before that, I used mobile 1.

Something called "gun oil" that I got at Wal-Mart I suppose. Maybe at my LGS, I forget. Works just fine.
I just looked. It's called "Outers Gun Oil." Quote:

For many years I was convinced every new grease that came out just HAD to be better than whatever I was using.
I the realized none of my autos had any more frame wear than any of the others. None of my guns ever had a malfunction that might even be remotely tied into poor grease performance on the rails. White lithium and Lucas Red n Tacky are just dirt cheap and work great. Might use something a little thinner if I were in a cold environment though. I will use whatever one happens to be in front of me when I’m cleaning and lubing an auto. Based on what all I have bought over the years, there should be enough left to grease the chassis of the hearse that carries me off. Last edited by Sgt127; February 8, 2018 at 11:33 PM. |

I use Frog lube for large moving parts like slides; oil for small moving parts like firing pins.

I'm doing same, SlideGlide for frame rails and Lucas Extreme gun oil. It's been working, was just wondering if there was something better.

For carbon steel on carbon steel I use Breakfree CLP. For SS I probably should research a bit further. For steel slide on aluminum frame I'd go for a grease.
