Ever put molybdenum on your m&P sear/hammer interface?

[Jayhawkhuntclub]

I've done this on ARs and it worked well. Ever do it on a M&P?

I use Sentry Solutions Sentry Solutions | Oil-Free lubrication and corrosion protection - Body Armor for Your Gear Hi-Slip to lube my M&Ps. It is molybdenum disulfide based. Best lube I have ever found. Also their Tuf-Glide is an excellent rust preventative and dry lube. Love their products as they are a superior lube and do not attract or retain dirt, dust, lint, etc. However I haven't tried it on sear, just use the Hi-Slip to lube points prescribed in owner manual plus use the Tuf-Glide for thorough wipe down after cleaning. Regarding Hi-Slip, the company's literature says "A tiny amount on sears and triggers decreases pull weight as well as smoothing the actual trigger feel" so it is a recommended application of the product.

molybdenum? as in grease?

I don't think that would be good since S&W wants you to clean the manufacturing grease out before first use. That original grease will usually cause FTFs.

I use it on the slide rails for all my hand guns...

Definitely need to get the factory packing grease out before first use. However that grease used by the factory is not molybdenum disulfide, and the amount of molybdenum disulfide needed to lube the rails is a pin-head size dot only on each spot. In other words, not an apples-to-apples comparison.

Grease doesn't belong on the sear. The sear should always be dry. This keeps it consistent and safe.

Suggestion for all is to try a dab of anti-seize on the sear face. I use Permatex brand. which is an inexpensive lube that keeps metal from seizing. It acts like those expensive sear/hammer lubes that sell for high dollar. It should smooth the pull and will reduce the trigger pull slightly. I had a problem with an AR, that kept scoring the sear face and I had to constantly pull it out and polish the sear and mating hammer surfaces. I tried the following with no success: polished and dry, gun oil, moly lube, mobil 1, etc., and nothing worked. When I tried using the anti-seize lube, it no longer scored the sear face and actually smoothed and reduced the pull. No more removing and polishing.

I said a dab or very light coating on the face of the sear and the mating surface of the striker. I use it on all higher pressure areas of my guns, such as the sear, hammer, disconnector, etc.

Then why is it recommended on AR sears?

I use Neco MolySlide, it's a 60% pure molybdenum disulfide paste. Moly reduces friction and almost eliminates all wear, so I use it in place of traditional gun oils/grease on all my firearms. I use it on slide rails, barrels and locking lugs, sears, disconnectors, hammers, trigger bars, pins, etc. I like how it burnishes into the metal at the molecular level which is how it reduces friction and wear.

It also stays put quite well and is excellent lube for a carry gun IMO. Even if it gets wiped off the moly is still there impregnated into the pores of the metal ready to do its job.

I used it on my Apex sear and polished striker "foot" in my latest Shield project. Just a little tab on the face of the sear/striker helps to smooth the interaction between the two both during the break point as well as improving the feel of the reset. I can't see the logic in running these parts completely dry. Any time you have metal on metal parts such as these rubbing against each other you want some type of lube on there. Moly is the best choice for this purpose IMO.

I bought this one little 1oz jar of Neco MolySlide and it will last me for years and years. A little goes a long way and it can be spread as thin or thick as you like.

JP Enterprises recommend aluminum anti-seize on their AR sear to hammer contact points and it works. I use it on all my trigger strikers too, because it stays put for a long time and it works. It's messy and stains, so just a dab with a toothpick will do the job.

Put some moly on last night. I'd guess it dropped the pull about 1/2 lb. Nice improvement The trigger is now at 6.25 lbs. I can live with it.

How about a picture showing where it goes?

I picked up some anti seize a couple days ago... It is pretty thick and smooth... Gets little copper flakes everywhere though... I might need to get some other variety...

 

[robkarrob]

Those that are trying out some anti-seize, it is a very fine lube. If you get it on your frame, clothes, etc., it is tough to get off. It will come off, but better to be careful and not have to try to get it off.

I've used 60% moly on all friction surfaces, on all my guns for several years. A high pressure grease that will embed itself in the metal while reducing wear.
It's worked extremely well. A little dab will do ya.
