My conceal carry weapon is a Kahr P380. I won't shoot this gun very often. My question is what would you lube the inside of it with. I need a lube that will stay where I put it for a long period of time. What is y'all opinion. Don

Oil drips, it also dissipates...lightly grease the rails....it doesn't run and it last longer.

Peace,

I like Eezox. S&W also makes a spray'dry lube' that works good. Eezox works (and smells) great but takes longer to dry.

I like'd having a wingman today....

You're planning on banking your life on a concealed weapon that you "won't shoot very often"? May I suggest you do shoot it often enough to know it very, very well? I'd be leery of carrying a weapon I've barely every shot.

My tube hit the trash can pronto. I observed no benefit that grease couldn't provide, and once I got a whiff of it: immediate dry gag!!!! I decided to check the ingredients in Eezox = carcinogenic!!!
Check the data for yourself....

Brownells Action Lube (light grease) stays put even for IDPA matches in our 110 degree heat.

I use this stuiff :DuPont Teflon Chain Lube - webBikeWorld

As an experiment once I used Lee Liquid Alox on the internals of a revolver. Worked surprisingly well but it's only been a year so who knows.

This stuff sounds good and is pretty cheap. Do you have any trouble with it gumming up? Also do you use it on all the gun or just the rails? Don

Great stuff...DuPont makes excellent greases with Teflon. There is a limited supply (very expensive) of 100% Teflon grease by DuPont. I wish I would have purchased more, now it's cost & availability make it difficult.
This chain lube hasn't gummed up on me, but I'm in a very warm climate the year around.

Any decent grease will work..I buy those little tubes of superlube at my local hardware.

I've not had any gumming problems and assuming you clean between applications I doubt if you would. I just spray the rails.

I'm not sure we're talking about the ame stuff. Niether S&W or Eezox 'dry lubes' come in a tube. They are both liquids. (when they go on)

As far as Eezox being carcinogenic go's, whatever. At my age, cancers gonna have to stand in line to kill me. Besides most everything nowdays seems to be carcenogenic. Including fish. (the one thing I actualy liked, that all the 'experts'* said was good for you)

I like 'dry lubes' particuarly for carry guns. They don't get gummy and don't attract lint, dust, or grit. Also they don't get oil/grease stains on your clothes. If you don't use the gun, it's "good to go" for long periods of time.

Mobil1 synthetic wheel bearing grease works for me. Doesn't bake off on the AK, either, even when everything else is mighty hot.

I use a spray on silcon lube. It stays in place, does not evoperate off and most importanly does not pick up pocket lint or dust. Have been using it for a number of years (5+) and am very happy with it. Also works great in my AR's. Will post the name later, do not have a can handy right now.

Many years ago I walked into a local gun shop and there was a gentleman complaining to the owner about the Beretta 92 jamming when they got dirty or warm. Listening in on the conversation I discovered he was a range armorer for the local Sheriffs Department, they had just switched over to the M92 and they were having the trouble he was describing.

I tried to interject a comment or question a couple times but they guy gave me the "Don't interrupt kid" look, even though I was in my 30's, so I waited for him to finish and leave. As soon as he left the owner said "I was glad when you walked in and was going to introduce you, but he was acting like such a jerk I changed my mind."

At the time I was a Unit Armorer and two years previously we had gone through the same problem when the Army took away our 1911A1's and gave us the Berettas. Through much trial and error we'd found a dry silicone lube that solved the problem. The owner of the shop knew this and the fact that I'd much experience repairing military firearms from the Brown Bess forward. He'd often called me when a customer had a problem with a military style firearm.

You might also want to consider Mobil1 synthetic motor oil, lightly applied.

I like MILITEC-1 - The ONLY all-purpose synthetic metal conditioner and gun oil A little goes a long way.

What about silicone grease? I have some to grease my flashlight butt caps.

I just picked up a couple of their mag pouches. I really like the idea of putting mag anywhere on the belt line and not having to mess with clips or snaps.

I really like the pouches and they are great idea IMO. Like the holster I bought, however, the footprint of the pouches are too big IMO. This is a minimalist concept and the larger footprint does not fit IMO. I took scissors to the J Frame holster and did some "garage engineering" on it to reduce the footprint, but that's not an option on the mag pouches based on the design.

Tetra grease works great, but reeks for weeks! I have several old cans of Slick 50 OneLUbe that I have been using for years and it works great if you are very spare with it.

I'll put in a vote for Dri-Slide. It's a moly based dry lubricant in an evaporative carrier fluid. That lets it flow where it needs to before becoming a dry film lube that doesn't attract sand, dust and powder particles. I've been using it on a variety of weapons systems for over 40 years.

Note: be careful when it's wet. The moly will stain clothes.

I use Clenzoil on all of my firearms. It doesn't gum up, doesn't attract and hold abrasives, and leaves a protective film.

I don't use grease because it attracts abrasives. For long term storage I have used Shooter's Choice red grease. I don't use it for lubrication.

Depending on the gun, my mood, and the position of the moon, stars and tide, I usually either use Sentry Solutions lube or Tetra grease on my frame and slide rails and ways. On internal parts, I'm not very picky, and have been known to use the Sentry Solutions products, FP-10, Break Free and a couple of other products. I keep intending to try Militec, but have not gotten around to it yet. The newer Tetra formulation doesn't stink like it used to, and Sentry Solutions lube is dry after the carrier evaporates, and has almost no smell.
