On your handgun slides and metal contact points, which one and why?
On your handgun slides and metal contact points, which one and why?
On a gun that gets used often I use Mobil one. I use eezox on the ones that sit.
Depends on the Gun really.
If it's a poly gun & you just want to lube where lock-up is.....any oil(Hoppes, remoil) will do (no grease BTW). If you are talking 1911 or all metal frames like CZ.......Eezox all the way for the entire assembly.....then place a very light coating of this in the slide area.

and a mean a very light coating!
As far as the Eezox thing.....go read up on it & it's corrosion performance!! Stuff ranks really high on my "Must Have" for gun maintenance. I used to use Ballistol & rem oil till I learned more about this.
I also have Eezox gun oil as well as the precision shooter. Both seem to be very good for the years I have been using them.
Mobil-1 is Hydroscopic & can absorb & carry moisture as it was intended to do in an engine. I will only advise against it using on a gun based on that characteristic alone. it is a good lubricant in itself, but was never truly designed to be for guns due the nature of motor oil.Originally Posted by Transom
I use Weapon shield Oil and Shooters Choice Grease. Although I recently purchased some of the Wilson Combat oil and grease but haven't used it yet.
I been been hearing a lot of good things about WC oil and grease for several yrs now. Some say the grease is no more than rebottled frog lube. I have no info if that is true or not.....But a lot of users really like it. There are 4 grades of there oil though.
Otherwise, I would buy some if I didn't have a lot of other crap I've been using for years
I had a guy once say he used to used rocket fuel (for reels) on his guns. Said it worked really well, unsure if it was OK up to 300+ reg though
BTW....Oil on all hand guns, grease on rifles hard moving/high friction parts....IE the fire group.
