Best grease for slides

[trikerider]

What do most of you think is best slide grease?

 

[jhnttrpp]

I use "RIG + P" on my 659

I like Tetra except on all-stainless guns. For those I use a RIG product made just for that purpose.

Not saying it's the best, but TW-25B is slick and stays where you put it after the gun heats up, so it dosen't run. I got the syringe and refill from the bigger tube.

Mine is stainless if that makes a difference.

It does make a difference.

I bought a pound of Valvoline High Temperature Molybdenum Bearing Grease in 1977 and have used it wherever a firearm needs grease since. I still have about half a pound. The secret is to use enough grease without using too much, regardless of what you use.

I would not use grease. A film of oil, applied and then wiped off with a rag will give the slide all the lubricant it needs. Grease will collect grit and (most will) get stiff in cold weather.

Military-0-158. It doesn't drip. I have about 15 others.

I prefer a dry film lube to either grease or oil. Doesn't attract/hold powder residue or stuff blowing around and doesn't migrate.

I have also found this. Since I clean my guns every time I shoot them, I'm very satisfied with Break Free CLP.

I use Korean war vintage Lubriplate my dad brought home from there!

LUCAS red & tacky. Great grease for everything!!!!

As you can see, almost as many different answers as responders and they all seem to do the job. Modern lubes are all pretty much very close in technology.
My personal choice for the last decade is Mobil One Full Synthetic in a Brownell's bellows bottle. I use it on everything including full auto. If it can hold up in your motor, it will surely work on my gun slide.

I use Royal Purple oil on everything.... guns, cars, around the house, etc.

My personal opinion is that as long as you use a good quality lube, oil or grease, you're good-to-go.

Having said that, I can't say it's the best but I've used Tetra Gun grease on my Beretta 92FS and a couple of 1911s with good results. That was several years ago, however, so I don't know if the formulation is the same.

FWIW, I currently use Gun Butter oil for lube, but have also used Break Free CLP. Both work well.

For me it's Go Juice oil and grease.

I stick pretty much with LSA, Lubriplate and Mobil One, depending on what I am lubricating. On things that slide like my M1's and 1911 slides, a light grease up with Lubriplate...... Things that rotate usually get some Mobil One. The LSA (old USGI standby) is kind of a cross between the two, and I keep a bottle in my range bag.
That's just me, and YMMV.
