Frog Lube and a M&P

[CJ_mp40c]

I keep hearing about Frog Lube. Also the M&P manual shows the 7 drop lube points.

I haven't even seen what Frog Lube looks like. Is it thick or runny?

What/how do you use Frog Lube on your M&P?

The big one is the drop of oil that is to be put on the sear area.

If you go the Frog Lube route forget about what S&W tells you about cleaning and oiling. FL has its own particular way of doing it

That being said, go FL...your firearms will thank you. Lots of videos on YouTube on how to apply

You Tube is your friend! Many good vids to look at for FL. I have it for my M&P 40.

Go to the FL website and watch the how to video they have up.....that will answer your questions. Basically, you don't worry about what the manual says. With FL, you are heating and "treating" all of the metal parts with the paste, then using the thick liquid version to hit high wear areas if you see the need. Once you use FL, you will not go back to the conventional clean/lube process. It works amazingly well IMO.

Would it be wise to let a brand new pistol have some "break-in" with lubing it the traditional way, then switch to FL after a few hundred rounds?

Can't believe I just asked that... I'm one that says breaking in a new engine with synthetic oil is harmful is merely an old wive's tale...

It's not an engine.

I use Frog Lube on all my weapons. Never looked back. No worries about harming the polymer. Food Grade Rated. No Chemical Smells.

Use it per the FL instructions. I add a small drop to the 7 lube points now and then to just "make sure".

I don't see any advantage to that. To start using FL, you need to completely strip all of the petroleum base product off of it with isopropyl alcohol anyway. I used FL on my FS MP9, MP9c and Nano from day 1. Couldn't be any happier. It is SO much quicker and easier to clean after a range session when using FL....all you really gotta do is wipe down well with a microfiber cloth. Read up on their website and you tube reviews...you won't be disappointed.

Plus FL is made in the USA!!!

Personally all I think it is is resizing lube made for lead bullets.

Can anyone give me a link of a video for cleaning for a brand new firearm? I will be getting my M&P 9 Full and my M&P Shield in a few days and want to have some pre-knowledge of what I am cleaning (meaning from the factory grease or whatever it is..)

thanks..

If you go to the Froglube website there is a specific section for videos.....one of them is a guy going through the initial treatment process on a semi auto. You basically field strip, clean thoroughly with isopropyl alcohol all the metal parts.....then heat the slide, barrel and other metal components with a hair dryer or heat gun. Once warm to the touch, apply the FL paste with the supplied brush.....you can be generous. Let the parts sit an hour or so, the wipe off the excess left with the supplied microfiber towel. I personally then add a bit of the liquid version FL to the main friction points, then you are done. Next time you are at the range, you will notice when the firearm heats up, the FL seeps out of the metal and thoroughly lubricates everything. Keep in mind, it actually REPELS dust and dirt, so it won't gum up your weapon by attracting residue like regular lubes.

They also support Disabled Vets.

Being they also say doing it in the warm sun... I also keep heat to it durring the time period (60-90 minutes) with my blow dryer to help "season" the metal.

I still can't believe how easy it is to clean weapons once it's been applied and I've been using it for a few years.

I love FL!!

I bought a 4 oz bottle of FL CLP yesterday. Didn't get the kit with the FL paste. Is the paste for the initial treatment and the liquid for maintenance?

I used Frog Lube it was ok I found a new product Rand CLP and it blows frog lube away

 

[zotzer]

I only use the paste. If you go to YouTube and search "clean M&P", you will see loads of videos. Probably even some with Frog Lube. Good way to kill an entire day, if you are so inclined.

7 Lube Points

I believe! I ordered some Froglube paste and liquid and will begin treatment of my 9C when the FL arrives. But I have yet to find consensus on if it should be the best practice to also use liquid FL consistently on the 7 lube points. I would welcome all feedback on this question. My gut is to continue to do this 7 point lube. What say you?

 

[Rastoff]

There will never be a consensus among gun owners. Especially when it comes to lubricants.

Having said that, I like Frog Lube. I use it exclusively on my handguns. I have used nothing but Frog Lube on my M&P 45 and have had no issues with it. I don't put any on the sear.

Been using FL extensively for 2 years. I bought a cheap WM large oval crockpot to treat my parts. I heat it up on low, add my degreased parts, polymer, metal, etc, and then slather on FL paste. I let it cook on low for an hour or so. Then remove the parts, let them cool, and wipe off the excess. That's the initial 1-2 cleanings, then I just use the liquid as a normal CLP, with a little paste on any aluminum frame rails.

You can also use a hair dryer or the sun to warm the gun parts, but the cp makes it a little easier.
