gun grease

[joecil]

Does grease slow do say the differential, transmission or suspension system on your car or keep it working smoothly? Grease is just a different lubricant but a lubricant just the same.

it probably does.. i know slide glide comes in different formulas.. the "lite" is suppose to be safe to use on SD guns whiel the regular and heavy can be used on comp guns.

i use the lite on all my guns, from a lowly 22a to my pt92 for carry never had a problem.

we used lubriplate to lube everything that we didn't oil on the fire department!
the stuff works good, although i have never used it on a firearm.
don't think thats one of the listed uses!
as for using lite anything the only thing I lube with any lite is the inside of my stomach with lite beer!
and it does seem to perform well!
as for slowing down the slide, well a grease designed for firearm use i would doubt would be thick enough to slow/drag anything, i would think as grease seems to be slicker then it would improve the slide speed.
I know it seems to work well on all my autos.

Lubriplate is a company that make all kinds of different greases and lubricants for many different things, all sold under the company name Lubriplate. The Lubriplate Mil-spec 130 and 130A are lubricants made specifically for firearms and spec'd to government standards.

This is the stuff I use on airplanes.

Kinda like Frisbee. We just called it by its commercial name instead of
the actual grade.

You know..Frisbee is actually a brand name of the flying disc..

nevermind..

I know, if you play disc golf don't you dare call it frisbee golf. :P

BTW, I do use gun specific grease like Shooters Choice.

I've started using this on the slide rails and outside of the barrel. No problems to report:

I use the Tetra oil. Works great.

Yes I bought a case of this from Amazon since I can't seem to find it locally. It is my favorite for all slides on semi auto weapons. Glock also sells a version of grease that I've heard great things about but never tried. The only thing with the Tetra is don't leave it for more than a year as it will leave a reddish film on the parts it was applied but great on a gun that is cleaned regularly as mine are. I have no long term storage guns in my very small collection. Each of my guns get fired at least once a month with full inspections, cleanings and regular lubes.

According to my owner's manuals for both of my guns there are only 4 points of lubrication and it says to use gun oil on those points. I have done this for 20+ years now with no ill effects or the sudden urge to use grease. I think I'll stick to the manual's advice.
