If you haven't tried this you should!

[Dave329]

Lucas gun oil, if you've never tried this product, you should pick up a bottle and give it a try. It's a heavy oil that I've found to cling to moving parts better. I've used it on everything from slide rails to triggers. I must say it works great to help free up a new or gritty trigger as well. Great product give it a try!!

I found the same stuff at Napa a few weeks back and had to buy it just because it was at an auto parts store. Agreed that it's good stuff. Glad you posted this.

I'm a big fan of the Lucas Upper Cylinder Lubricant. I will have to give this a try just out of brand loyalty, if i can find it in California.

You could probably find the "Liberal Tears" brand by the case out there. [emoji50]

I wonder if it's the same oil they advertise in the plexiglass case with a hand crank to show how it sticks to the moving gears?

Has to be cheaper by the pint or quart.

 

[Dave329]

It's red in color pretty heavy grade oil. I've used it quiet a bit for internals. I also found it in an auto parts store. But I'm sure you could get it online.

Thanks for the tip, Dave. I think my buddy has about every Lucas product made & I'll see if he has any. At this time I'm using Break Free CLP for cleaning & lubing & after several thousand rounds my 40C is showing no signs of wear. It cleans up fast & easy. My used full size 40 is out of police service & the PD used the same stuff. I like to try new products, though. There's always something better.

There's always something better.

Ain't that the truth.

Oil "runs away" from where it's applied on a handgun. Oil one up then stick it snout down in your favorite holster...muzzle and possibly your clothing will be covered in all that wonderful oil.

I prefer grease. It doesn't run away; it stays where you put it.

Yes. there's always something better. Problem with modern society is we have too many choices...

 

[Andrew2105]

Definitely grease for semi auto slide rails & other slide/frame witness marked areas. Light coat for revolver ejector rods & cylinder lock up points. I like Lubriplate (old fashioned I know). Many spots are good for oil = hard to reach spots. Some like ATF seems a bit light to me.

For upper cylinder lube, forget Lucas, get 2 stroke outboard TCW3 rated oil (wal*mart) cheaper & works better 1oz per 5 gallons of gasoline. Makes my car run better on trips to the range. {trying to avoid topic drift off of guns}

 

[bullfrog1108]

I've been using the Lucas for a while now. It's pretty good stuff!

 

[Dave329]

I agree on the grease. I use grease on my autos frame rails, and barrel shroud. But for springs and hard to reach spots oil is golden. Grease would build up n stick the springs with debris after awhile. But in good gun maintenance both defiantly have their place.

Same manufacturer but different product. tom.

 

[dubnali]

I've been using Lucas almost exclusively for a while now. Love it. For grease, I bought a tube of Shooter's Choice from Midway. Seems to work well thus far.

Generally any heavy grade synthetic oil works well in a firearm, been using royal purple products for years.

 

[Nefarious]

I switched to Frog Lube a while back and couldn't be happier. If you're looking for something new, give it a try.

 

[akguy1985]

I may have to try that.

 

[camsdaddy]

I've been using Mpro-7. I noticed yesterday at the range that my barrel was dry. I may go back to using Lucas.
