Dry lubricant

[obiwan1]

I’ve been testing Hornady Dry Lube on my Kahr K40. So far I’ve had very good results with it.

The dry lubes I have used are basically silicone.You can buy it an auto parts store much cheaper than at a sporting goods store.

Hornady one shot dry lube and cleaner is great for rimfire. Helps prevent mud and sludge buildup. Many thousands of rounds through 10/22s, and Buckmarks.

I have a can of One Shot but I haven't tried it on any firearms yet.

The best thing I ever did in the gun-lube department was get some bottles with needle dispensers. They allow me to just put tiny drops of Eezox where I want it and keeps the gumming to a minimum. Most gun lube packages dispense way too much product, especially the aerosol ones.

Here's an interesting study of gun cleaners and lubricants. It's a real eye opener: https://www.shootersforum.com/threads/results-of-gun-care-product-evaluation.91566/

I used Seal One for a year on my several handguns, and it seemed fine.

Last summer the orange, "former gel" became a runny liquid when kept for weeks in my car and remained so even after shaking, then being stored in a cool, air conditioned room.
The lubricity still seemed fine with the excess wiped off, but in this weird, unexpected liquid condition I could no longer trust its protective function. And the home office of Seal One in Coronado CA never answered my question (e-mail) about this.

It was cleaned from my handguns with alcohol and Ballistol (mineral oil) applied.

Thank you for posting this. I read this a couple years ago and started using One Shot on my triggers, especially on my S&W revolvers, and for general coating of the actions of my long guns. So far I think it works great. I do use Mobil 1 oil and grease where needed as well.

I've been using various dry lubes for years, starting with Dri-Slide moly. It was a revelation at the time, but too messy to still use now. Hornady has one that worked well, but the solvent was nasty and had to be applied outside. I currently use White Lightning wax lube. The solvent is not too bad and it works well. I use it for magazines and semiauto 22s, which run very dirty.

Bicyclists have the how to keep a chain lubed while not attracting dirt problem in spades. Go to a bike shop and you'll find a wide variety of dry lubes.

For anything chain drive, I use QMAXX H2O. I started using it on my Remington shaver screen and blades when it was new. It's been four years of daily use and I am still using the original screen and blades.
The QMAXX H2O is heavier than water so it purges any moisture off the metal surface then the vehicle solvent (kerosene, I think) evaporates and then the proprietary microscopic coating bonds to the metal. It is not only very slick, it's very hard and very dense and has a wear resistance. Dirt and grime will not stick to it. I apply it to the factory chrome wheels on my 2004 Ford Ranger and even the disc brake dust and dog pee rinse right off.

The proprietary stuff falls under the trade secrets section of OSHA regulations, and I have no idea exactly what it is. Those that do most likely have a big penalty clause in their job slot along with no-compete restrictions after they leave employment.

The "secret sauce", so to speak.
