I took my Ruger p89 out of the safe today, haven't fired it in about a year. I last cleaned and lubed with Froglube and now the action is really stiff. No problems with my other guns that were also Froglubed.
Any ideas?

Yea, quit using froglube -
Oh, look,,yet another thread about a particular product.
In before "you're using it wrong", "did you run it through your kids EZ bake oven first" and "but I like the smell"
Op, that was a preemptive strike. I've been using CLP for about forty years, am have never had any issues with it in any way.
I can go a step further, and state that excluding THIS product, I have never seen or heard about a problem such as this with any other type of lubricant. No person or online.
But there's a thread just like this about monthly here.

Ditch the FL and use a normal lubricant. Problem solved.
And yes, prepare for the "You applied it wrong, didn't wipe enough off, didn't get the parts warm enough, only used 1 coat, applied too much, didn't apply enough, yadda yadda" crowd.Comment

I've been using grease on my slide rails for years, but recently had an issue that is making me reconsider. After just a few rounds, one of my 1911's started getting rough and the slide was sticking. The grease had been pushed off the rails, but a few drops of oil loosened things up again.
I like how grease stays where you put it and lasts a very long time, but I always thought it gave extra protection and now I'm not sure.
After searching around I heard some good points from the weapons shield guy.
You may say this isn't froglube related, but I think it is since froglube is like dehydrated grease.Comment

Look at my birth certificate. I've been shooting over 40 years, and, again, I've never even heard of a different lubricant causing these problems. Wrong amount, wrong temp, whatever. I'm serious. There is a frog lube problem thread monthly, where are the CLP and remoil threads? I've got firearms that sat for 25 years in a nice, light ex dinosaur oil, and I don't break them down because the action is stiff, I just shoot them.
Why would anyone change from what works to what might work if you heat it and don't use too much?Originally posted by tony270Originally posted by repubconservOriginally posted by el chivoXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXOriginally posted by pjsig
