Lube suggestions

[TennJed]

Hey guys what do yall use for lube? Getting ready to clean and lube my PF9 for the first time. I Have some M-Pro & Gun Oil LPX. Would this be ok or should I use gun grease?

Thanks

I've tried a lot of lubes. I always come back to Breakfree.

I'm cheap. I use synthetic automotive oil and grease. But I like CLP and Rem oil a lot too.

Grease: Mil-Comm TW25B
Oil: Slip2000 EWL

I'm agree with Coromo. I don't like paying 1000% mark-up on engine oil. I make my own lubes now with some variation for different weapons and enviroments.

My average lube is thick but liquid. Like Ketchup.

My favorite lately:
STP, ATF, Lucas Red&Tacky synth bearing grease. Mixed evenly.

STP, ATF, 15w40 is much thinner, but deosn't last as long.

I use Breakfree CLP to clean and protect and inside my barrels.

I keep 2-3 cans of Rem oil around the house. It's been working good for me for nearly 20 years.

Shooter's Choice red grease in the syringe; otherwise Remoil

I like CLP in the squeeze bottles, and a grease like Tetra or TW25B for full length, metal-on-metal slide rails. Your PF9 does not have these, however.

Weaponshield oil and grease. Mmmmmmm...cinnamon.

I like Break-Free LP for a lube........not Break-Free CLP, Break-Free LP - I don't need the "cleaner" for lube.

Shooter's Choice red grease in the syringe

I've used that for the last few years myself. One application per pistol can last through several of my brief range sessions.

I've even used Vaseline in the past for gun grease. It shows dirt really fast but it will do the job just fine when you have nothing else.

I use Wilson Combat Ultima-Lube grease on the slide rails of my 92s...

 

[JTQ]

Use whatever you have.

 

[Jotobo]

My old man uses Ballistol. Kind of all in one cleaner/lube. Works just fine. I use a little Hoppes #9 for sh*ts and giggles too.

Anyone ever use Eezox?

 

[chrt396]

Use whatever you have.

I agree! If you service your pistol often enough..then WHAT you use is kind of irrelevant. Just do it!! I think Nike said that!

 

[Rick Roll]

Ballistol seems to work well on my GLOCK rails. It's the only stuff that I let touch the GLOCK. It also seems to work well on my revolvers.

I've been using regular white lithium grease and Mobil 1 20W-50 on my new DW 1911. Seems to work great.

 

[jr_roosa]

Formerly I used Eezox for a solvent and corrosion protector (like CLP, but reportedly better corrosion protection) and a very thin coat of waterproof bearing grease on the rails and anything that slides. Then I started getting failures to return to battery in cold weather from the grease being too thick and slowing the slide.

I only use the grease on my Garand now and all the pistols get just Eezox. Seems to lubricate fine.

Only downside of Eezox is that it smells funny...kinda like grandma's perfume.

I really miss the days when Hoppes #9 was what a clean gun smelled like.

Getting ready to clean and lube my PF9 for the first time.

I've been carrying a PF-9 for two years now. I lube it with either Breakfree CLP or Remoil and it's been 100%. I think it's important to keep firearms properly lubed. I'm not convinced that there's a great difference in performance between various brands/types. Just about any decent lube will do the job. Find one you prefer and stick with it. Your gun will thank you.

Bacon grease

TW25B came with my SIGs and I like the way the slide stay smooth and they run well (The SIGs).

So for a grease I use that. I used Eezox for a solvent and corrosion protector too.


Lateck,

Oh, was that in 20w or 10w~40? There is NEVER a wrong answer to cleaners/greases..... There are some products that are a little better and are availible.....
