What kind of grease do you guys use for your metal guns?

Outer's Gunslick. I'm still on the original tube from back in the '70s. Apply just the tiniest amount on action rails to prevent wear and smooth cycling.
 
I like to use white marine grease so that it wont stain my hands and clothes. I buy it at the auto parts store and I got a 16oz can for $7. I think my children will probably inherit the leftovers.

The general rule of lubrication is: oil for rotating parts, grease for sliding parts that carry a load.

My general rule of thumb is "Grease for Everything." :)
 
I realize your quoting someone else but I also had the same response earlier

I'll put in my .02c

while eezox coats and lubes to a degree but I feel that my pistol should be able to function properly without the aid/need of an outside object.

Such as if I have a 1911 that requires grease to run properly I see that that pistol has some sort of mechanical issue, granted this isn't my view on ALL machinery but weapons yes.

What if I need the pistol to work and I am unable to get said grease to maintain it? Worst case I figure in a situation you'll desperately need any gun it will be in less then ideal condition, from sitting, from long duration in a holster, exposed to the elements... so I want to be sure my weapons can work dry thus eliminating one concern and assuring it can function.

I suppose the only exception to this stance is if it is a performance driven target pistol where that is one of the expected requirements. Something that is a niche weapon.

I'm sure that grease would reduce the wear on my guns to a degree. But all of my guns run just fine only with Eezox. I feel its a fair expectation. feel free to disagree.

Apologies if this post is fragmented or has redundancies I'm typing this quick before I leave. I'll review it later.
 
No grease, just Rem oil, and Outers gun oil.

Some folks hold to the notion that if it rolls then oil it, if it slides then grease it. I do not like grease because it tends to hold the 'gritty stuff' like fine silicates.
