Best 1911 lube?

[timmyb21]

10-8 performance lube on my 1911's. Actually, the rest of my pistols get it now, too.

I use snake oil they say its really good


JK I've moved to mostly non toxic lubes and cleaners I use Simple Green, MPro 7, Breakfree bore foam, Slip 2000 EWL, Mil-Com TW-25B grease, and frog lube paste for exterior.

My TRS has over 16,000 rounds through it. I have used nothing but Mobil 1 5/30. It shows no wear on the rails, very little on the barrel and slide stop. The best part is the cost.

Brian Enos Slide glide light. Has worked really well on my 2011 SVI

I use slide glide for all of my guns.

Lubri Plate FMO-350-AW oil is what I use even after 500rds its still on the slide and the frame rails... The gun feels different with this oil vs everything else.

When I store my store my firearms in storage for a long while I use LubriPlate SLF-0 grease...

I am compelled to try both of these options.

I use that pink Mobile 1 grease on my M1 Garand (as it requires real grease) and sometimes my AK. It works great. I wouldn't mind trying some LubriPlate when I get my 1911 though. I've been using CLP on most other things for a while, but it annoys me that it evaporates so quickly. Then again, cleaning is easier than caked on grease.

They all work. I have so many different sample bottles that came with various guns over the years that i simply use one till it's gone and grab the next one i see laying around on the loading bench. Like i said, they all work.

I only use Lubri Plate FMO-350-AW oil when I'm constantly using the firearm... But when I put it in storage thats when I use Lubri Plate SLF-0 grease ... And when I take a firearm out of storage I clean it and slap some lubri plate oil and go shoot...

I use my own super-duper concoction----- a modified Ed's Red.

[RedFord150]

Tetra Gun Grease. Use a tiny drop on each rail.

[GWbiker]

A very light coating of Slide Glide lite or TW25b on frame/slide rails and barrel/bushing contact areas. Won't fly off like oil.

Sig Arms now packs a small sample of TW25b with new handguns.

Id go with slip 2000... my favorite...
