Lube?

[mwt1980]

What do you guys prefer for your polymers and your 1911s.... Oil or Grease? Why?

[HPGunner]

I use a little of both. grease the rails and oil in areas where there is friction and grease can't get too.

[Legasat]

I just use FP-10. No grease. Works fine.

With the title of "Lube?" the thread had so many more possibilities....... just sayin.

Slide-Glide Standard or Heavy.

For all my guns (most are polymer), I use Hoppe's #9 for general cleaning if the guns are pretty dirty. For general cleaning, lubrication and wiping down my guns I use Breakfree CLP. I usually lubricate the slide rails and lubrication points on my guns with a few drops of either Breakfree or Militec 1 synthetic lubricant. I haven't ever had any problems using these cleaners/lubricants and function has been great on all my firearms.

Weapons Shield for all the steel 1911s.

ditto. Except I use Medium on rail and on my P-series, Lite on tighter places and on the slide of my Sig Pro. I use CLP or oil on pivoting parts like the hammer.

When it comes to the rails I always go with Slide Glide especially when talking the 1911 or any full railed pistol with all the rail contact. Much better than the thinner oils.

Tetra Gun Grease for just about everything presently, as it just works so well for me. I am also experimenting with using M7Pro "LPX" ... seems to work great so far.

[gadjeep]

super lube synthetic grease works pretty darn well.

CLP, all the time, everywhere.

[Colt]

Formerly used Gun Butter, but for the last couple years I've used Militec-1 exclusively. Awesome stuff.

I don't own any plastic pistols.

1911

Grease on metal on metal, oil on everything else

i put clp on a q-tip and slide it on the rails. not too heavy or too light, just enough.
