Lubrication for a semi auto handgun?

I use Hoppe's oil. After, of course, #9.

 

CLP or MilTec.

 

I have been using the Miltec so far and I am impressed with the way it hols up thus far! The past two times at the range it has stayed well lubed after 150+ rounds through my Sigs! I believe all new Sigs come with a sample of Miltec as well! Does anybody else use anything that hasn't been mentioned so far?

 

youll might think im weird, but there isnt a drop of oil/grease on any of my guns.

i clean them with brake clean, dry them with compressed air and call it a day. i will wipe the outside with silicone wipes to keep any rust away.

i have never had any malfunctions and they dont appear to wear any worse

holling, look who is the know it all now. do your research before hand

 

After a thorough cleaning, my pistols get lubricated with FP-10 and I apply TW25 grease along the slide and frame rails. I also float a single drop of FP-10 over the grease on the slide as well.

I also use Militec and have had fine results with it.

 

My bad................ Sorry

 

I usually use either Rem-oil, or 3-in-1 oil.

 

I use Breakfree CLP on all of my firearms.

I've also used 3in1 oil. Had a friend who swore by Lubriplate on his 1911's.

 

From an armorer perspective with the Marine Corps, it depends on the make of the gun. If the stock is synthetic, CLP and other solvents tend to eat at the polymers in the lower reciever when left on too long. Any oil that is 'safe for synthetic' is what I would recommend going with. Otherwise, the CLP is great (used it for years).

 

I've been using Mobile synthetic 5/30 for years. Soak all firearms in a bucket for 6 hrs. Remove and wipe clean. Wear gloves and face mask to protect self from oil blow back. Just my .02 worth like everyone else.

 

clp works but i prefer rem oil since its easier to use out at the range and i use cle on a daily bases with all sorts of semi autos to full autos

 

I've always been told Hoppes by my hunting buddys! They should know they use there guns in the worst conditons possible, out on the ocean hunting Eider Ducks!

 

Do we have any gunsmiths on the forum? I would like to hear their recommendations.

 

i've always heard hoppes is good but i've used clp and rem oil in the freezing cold, deserts, rain, and just about anything u can imagine and it always works aslong as u have a clean gun

 

I use hoppes and rem oil
