Lube

I think Breakfree CLP is the best overall I've used. I also use a smidge of white lithium grease on a few internal parts of autoloaders or if I see a wear spot. Just a smidge.
 
I have used Break-Free in the past with no problems. But at the present time Im using Tetra as a lube I have not used it to condition the bore yet. But this stuff is the slickest stuff I have ever used :eek:
I have also used Slip 2000 in the past and was pleased with it, its not as slick as Tetra but things clean right up after using it.

I recently bought some G96 which is a CLP but have not had the opportunity to try it out yet.

I have used these lubricants in the past with no real problems.
Outters Gun oil (Too thin no longer use it)
Rem-oil (Mainly used for wiping guns down, occasionly to clean trigger assemblies and oil the bore after cleaning)
Break-Free (Still use it on occasion)
Slip 2000 (Currently not using it)
Tetra Lubricant (The main lubricant Im using at the time)
 
Break free will harden and gum up the action if used heavily, go easy on it and it is hard to beat.

If you need grease the Rig +P lube is hard to beat.
 
HAVE THEM ALL...............

I use BreakFree CLP and TetraGrease on all my handguns, both autos and wheels.

I use TetraLube (skunk) oil to condition bores (yes, I actually rarely clean them).

This has proven successful for me, regardless of gun, in environmental conditions ranging from 95F to -25F, dusty/rainy/snowny/sandy/no-maintenance-except-more-CLP.
 
No Complaints with Break Free, I've been using it for a while now. On the recommendation of others, I've also picked up some Militec-1 and a tube of that TW25B. I haven't had the chance to "field test" it yet though.

I use a home brew of 3 parts STP (or generic equivalent) and 1 part Marvel Mystery oil (or combination to suit viscosity needs). Been doing this for over a year with great results. I clean the actions with WD-40 (I know, I know) and thoroughly dry with compressed air and re-lube with combo above. Does not dry out. Slick as snot and totally off the wall compared to what you'll read here. Do a search on lubrication and you'll get more chemical engineering treatises than you ever thought possible. Try a variety. I used to use a combo of Militech and 20wt. motor oil, but it dried out in the climate controlled safe within a couple of months.
 
A synthetic motor oil, such as Mobil 1, is a good all-round lubricant that I use for some things like mags and mag-wells---good stuff.

I plan to experiment some more with it as the price is right compared to lubes that are sold for firearms.
 
I've never really used a bad grease or oil. Not to say that there aren't any out there (there probably are) but I haven't run across them.

Those carried by your local stores will probably work just fine. I prefer Hoppe's Oil and think that Remoil is verrrrrrry light.

When grease is necessary, I just use whatever I have around the house. Right now it is Quaker State.

motor oils leave residue, and lack the performance of the right gun grease.

I took both the Glock Armorer's Course and a quickie with the Sigarms rep, and both instructors noted TW-25B.

Tried it. Love it. Less maintenance. Always in fire ready condition.
 
BreakFree CLP has been a real eye-opener. I've been using it for about two years and have been most impressed with the way it prevents rust. My hands sweat easier than any other part, so that's a big deal for me.

The Cleaner, Lubricant parts also perform well. I've used it on semiautos at -10 to -15 F, and as long as you don't over-apply, things work just fine even if you let the pistols "cold soak".

TetraLube grease works well, but like many greases will get you in trouble at low temperatures.
 
Gun Juice

On the recommendation of a couple LEOs, I ordered Microlon Gun Juice: It is alleged to be a "dry" anti-friction treatment that takes a few applications to build up a molecular friction-free zone.www.microlon.com
 
Militec-1

I use Militec-1 and this stuff is very slippery, wet and lasts so long. In fact, you can oil the gun and put it away for 12 months to see the oil did not evaporate. Falex Load Carrying Capacity is very high. Recommended factory lubricant on all Beretta firearms.
 
Break-Free "LP"

Break-Free "LP" (Lubricant/Preservative) is very good. It does not evaporate like the Break-Free "CLP" (Cleaner, Lubricant & Preservative). Break-Free "CLP" was said to be the factory lubricant that Glock uses.
 
Update, Just started using G96.

I have recently started using G96 Gun Treatment and am satisfied with its performance so far, it cleans better than Break-Free and has a pleasent smell it seems to lubricate pretty well also.
Dirt doesn't attract to it as much as it does with B.F. CLP.

I did a corrosion test with ocean salt water a few weeks ago and G96 didn't do all that well compared to B.F. CLP but then again I usually don't soak my guns in salt water for 24 hours either :D

another militec user, this stuff is slick. you will notice smoother cycling. benchmade also uses and sells it exclusively.
 
Break-Free CLP even as lubricant only...if I went with grease in addition to CLP, I would use a good NLGI grade 2 grease, preferably synthetic base with a solid lubricant like teflon or moly, with the GC-LB NLGI service classification
 
Gunlube/gunglue

I have a friend who owns in the neighborhood of 70 firearms(!).
He claims to NEVER use anything except WD-40:eek: This stuff attracts crud like an electromagnet and turns to sludge in cold weather. The really wierd part is....I've been shooting with him several times(semi-auto pistols, revolvers, long guns...)ALL his firearms work and the guy is a darn good marksmen!

GO FIGURE!
