Lithium grease?

[kellyhachihachi]

Would white Lithium grease be ok for the connector bar in a Tupperware... Oops. GLOCK? Obviously oil wont stay or last, and I have lithium grease on hand. Id imagine it would work fine since grease is grease but i figured id ask the ever knowing calgun guru's.

Little photo i took real quick. Could be butter but Meh, ill take a better one eventually

It'll work. Some are better than others, plus you have to factor in weather, heat, etc., but with normal maintenance you'll be fine.

I would suggest the .25 Cent trigger job and then leave it dry...

Grease just traps dirt and is not needed on the connector

Yea I did the 25 cent job n jjust added a Drop Where the slide metes the rails

Just so you know, between the connector and the trigger bar is one of Glock's recommended lubrication points (recommended by Glock)

If there's friction, grease it. Unless you are in Antarctica then you would worry about your gun freezing up which I don't think you will anytime soon.

If you worry about your gun trapping dirt and all that, don't worry. It would take at least a few thousand rounds without cleaning before you attract enough dirt for your gun to stop working. Sooner if you're one of those guys that likes to roll in mud and dirt all day long.

Well, I did the trigger job and it feels kinda meh dry then i scraped a bit of the bronze Glock grease off the slide and wiped it on the connecter and it feels way better, literally just like a film of it though so thats what made me wonder do you grease it (Very lightly) or do you just leave it dry. And im not too worried about it getting dirty since i clean my guns every time after theyre fired and glocks especially are super easy to take all the way down to clean

Is there such thing to over polish the friction points?

It's fine go ahead and use the Lithium grease it won't hurt anything. I have used Lithium grease on guns for years. I'm currently using Mobile1 synthetic grease. You can pick up a 16oz tub of mobile1 synthetic grease at Pep Boys for $9.00. I've had one for two years and will probably get another year or two out of it. Not bad for $9.00.

I have always called the point on the Glock where you add the 1 drop of oil the rear of the trigger bar.

I think we are on the same page in terms of 1 drop of lube at the back of the trigger bar... near the ejector.

From the OP's post, i was thinking that you would need to disassemble the trigger, ie push pins, to lube the connector....

I guess my comment should have been clearer...

When you demand (and can afford) the BEST!

Super Tech Marine Grease



$5 for a lifetime supply at Walmart.



I use a twist-tie as an applicator for the rails and connector.

One word - film.

I'm gonna steal that diagram! Makes it so much easier than typing everything out!

OP, you'll notice that the lithium grease will run smoother than the copper colored factory break in grease. I use lubriplate grease, but if you clean after every trip, as you already mentioned, you probably won't ever notice a difference.

Really, most anything will work with continued maintenance. As for "Antartica", my family has had guns jam up while hunting in Montana due to freezing lubes (in the snow), but never been an issue in So Cal. It does happen is my point.

Alright thanks. I put a good hundred rounds or so through it, couple malfunctions though, im guessing the recoil spring needs to soften up a bit + ammo maybe.
Cool little fire ring picture


My brother bought a Glock 17 compensated and that damn thing jammed almost every round or wouldnt cycle the next one, would any of you guys know why? I noticed when rapid firing it it would be ok, then one handed it would work 98% of the time then normal two handed it would malfunction, it would work ok but when gripping it abnormally tight, wasnt limp wristing either. Does the compensated versions need a lighter recoil spring? or just heavier loads? but would that be conflicting? Harder hitting round in a gun thats supposed to make normal rounds have less recoil?


EDIT: its a shame people dont pick their crap up when they leave. I pick up my brass and my targets
