It seems Militec-1 may be on the way out. Seems like they're still giving away more of the stuff than they're selling. The military's being bull-headed and continuing to use that greasy kid stuff (CLP), which is great for a jungle war, but tends to attract grit and sand. The Militec-1 is horrible for a jungle war, but is great for desert use, because it's dry. It's also horrible at preventing rust, but is superb for lubrication.
What are your experiences and which do you prefer? I've always used CLP, because I don't use much of it and I find that applying Militec-1 to metal parts is tedious with the hair dryer and all. But those who use it rave about it.
What about use on handguns? Surely some of you have older handguns that require gobs of lubricant to work. Or you live in wet, smelly swamps or the Arizona. What's your take?
