Frog Lube

[Mike McLellan]

What's the difference between a frog and a toad, and who cares, anyway?

FrogLube has treated me well for over a year, but I apply sparingly to any parts that can get gummed up. I have even applied it to antique firearms with great results in terms of cleaning gunk from 70 and 80 years ago.

I will not say it was operator error and I also will not fault the product for the above negative results, but too much of a good thing can be bad. Hope you enjoy what ever you decide to use and it treats you well.

I like CLP but I also use Hoppe's. I also enjoy RemOil and have had good success with good 'ole Lubri-Plate in the silver and black tubes.

Lots of good stuff out there.

Kinda like what's the best bottled water? In the end its all water.

I was an armorer in the army just when they started getting into the Breakfree thing. It was a very poor lube for machineguns, and we went to the motor pool and got moly grease to lube the locking lugs and bolt raceways on our belt-fed machineguns. Now a whole generation of shooters think that Breakfree is the only thing you can use. Quite frankly, its not a bad lube, but it started the whole "magic oil" movement. These days, as before I use either a 30 or 90 weight synthetic oil depending on the application, or GI rifle grease. Oil is oil.

I posted in another "lube" thread that most of the USMC machinegunners ended up buying LSA on their own, or used automotive grease on their guns. CLP burned right off.

Just goes to show ya......... some of these new fangled things are just not good. I stick with the tried and true with just about everything.

I switched to FrogLube for the WAF, she did not like the smell of anything else. So far I have not had an issue and the first holster I bought dropped my pistol in the snow and I picked it up and it sill shot fine, cold and snow.

I have a friend who has been singing the praises of Frog Lube because a "Navy Seal invented it and it's all natural". I was just nodding my head and not excited enough so next thing I know he gives me some Frog Lube and Frog Grease(?) plus some eye dropper things to apply it. I have used it on my Glock shooter that gets used regularly. I only put a bit on rails and barrel exterior....glad I use it that way. No problems so far.

Most of us tend to over-lube our semiautos, then shoot the excess off. I definitely won't be frog lubing safe queens!

I don't get excited about gun oil at all. Really don't care however it's far from "snake oil". I use CLP just because that's what I paid for. In the past I have used Hopes and Frog Lube and never had problems with any. I even used trans fluid. Motor oil and trans fluid works but it's not a great idea. They get thick in the cold and attract dirt and dust. They also tend to flow easier. No matter how much I wipe off, at the end of the day of carrying a firearm I can see and feel streaks from where it slowly started to run.

The funny thing is I've heard people say how terrible CLP is. That it gunks up and permanently binds to the inside, destroying barrels and everything else. I have never seen that but i have never had this problem with frog lube either

I used frog lube and did not like the results. As they say, it penetrates the pours of the metal and when applied to a warm surface, does a better job. Well, my experience is that when the gun heats up after firing 100 rnds or so, it begins to oose back out and collect carbon etc.
I now use to coat my garden tools. It does clean them up and keep them rust free.
For my guns I am back to Breakfree CLP.

Mil-Comm TW25B-If it is good enough for the Germans at Sig sauer it is good enough for me.

Tri-Flow-On all my Revolvers,Never had a problem.I also use the Mil-Comm on sear surfaces and on the Hammer/Trigger pins as well as the Rebound slide.

I used frog lube on my model 36 and it got warts.

Never had any problems with Frog Lube. Best bore cleaner for copper hat I have found. Results,like opinions, will vary.

 

[Glockinator19]

Hmm...doesn't do that if you clean it all off and keep it out of the striker channel...I have never had any problems with it on any of our glocks, sigs, S&W or STI. But everyone has a different experience

I use and recommend BreakFree.

I have been using it for many, many years.

I still have a couple of competition guns that I used in 1967. I have not fired them since around 1976.

Every few years I take them out and "change their oil".

Never any rust, never any thick, gummy residue.

 

[Practical]

The only time I have had trouble with ANY oils is when I have used TOO much or if I used WD-40 for long term storage OR if I used an oil or grease at a temperature LOWER than its specification recommended.

Use the product in the amount and in the application it is spec'ed for.

 

[chief38]

Not for nothing, but I personally find that a lot (the majority) of so called "GREEN PRODUCTS" don't work nearly as well as the old "BAD STUFF" does ,weather we are talking guns or anything else. Once in awhile there comes a real good one, but most are probably just trying to capitalize on the GREEN thing.

 

[George_in_SD]

I use slip2000 with great success.

froglube is a great protectant, horrible lubricant. it gets sticky when it gets cold, or when you run your guns hard.
