I have a supply of G.I. surplus grease (in those little individual cups) that I purchased at gun shows years ago, thinking that if it was military spec., it had to be pretty good. However, I took my .45 Colt XSE Combat Commander out a short time ago and it functioned (note that I did not say "ran") sluggishly, that is, a couple of non-return to battery until the gun warmed up.
Therefore, I have decided to abandon all that G.I. grease for something a little lighter and based on more current lubrication technology.
In short, not all gun greases are equal...especially the old ones.
