S&W Shield Carry Lube

[gsparesa]

Those of you who carry, what do you think of dry lubes? I'm looking towards using Hornady One Shot Gun Cleaner and Lube with DynaGlide Plus. I was thinking of using Blaster TDL with PTFE. PTFE is Teflon. I use this stuff on locks and door hinges and it dries and leaves a slippery surface. It also doesn't harm plastics and wood.

I use white lithium grease that I purchased very inexpensively at my local auto parts store. I used dry lube at one time, but found that it didn't work well for me. Other results may vary??

I've switched to Mobile One Synthetic grease on all my firearms. No special reason.

I subscribe to the "If it turns, oil it- if it rubs,grease it.. and LESS is always enough" lube philosophy.

Interesting on Zebra War Wagons experience with dry lube - I've used Elmer's Slide-All, a dry lubricant on .22 LR autoloaders, and satisfied...haven't experienced the gunk build up that powder residue and petroleum based lubes can sometimes give.

Best.

Unless you are dealing with fully automatic weapons, firearms are not very demanding when it comes to lube. A couple drops of gun oil is all you need.

I tried dry lube and didn't like it. I use a minimum of gun oil as shown in the product manuals.

If you are worrying about lube getting on clothing, you are using too much.

I do the same as MichiganScott, a drop of clp at the 7 spots and have a silicon cloth to wipe the outside down at the end of the day.

I just use Break-Free CLP sparingly applied at the recommended lube points with a Q-Tip.

Never really gave dry lubes any thought.

I use Magnalube grease on the slide rails for just about all of my semi auto's. I prefer grease anytime metal rubs on metal as I feel it does a better job of lubricating and staying in place versus oil. I use a very light coat of it.

I tried boron nitride on the slide rails once but didn't like it. Just seemed too dry and gritty. Boron Nitride is a very slippery dry lube powder. I do use it on the barrel where it contacts the slide and it works well there. I have a Taurus TCP that I pocket carry 100% of the time even when I'm carrying the Shield. The TCP works very well lubed with boron nitride and being that I pocket carry it (in a holster designed for pocket carry) that works much better since it is more likely to be exposed to pocket lint. A dry lube doesn't attract dust like grease or oil does. The Shield is carried IWB so dust and lint isn't really an issue with it.

I have been switching all mine over from clp to frog lube. I've had great success with it and have been very happy so far! In fact after you heat it up and wipe it down you will notice the cycling of the slide a tad easier.
YMMV

I use the Hornady on my M&P's, lcp and sigs. I like that is doesnt hold onto dust and sand like oil and grease. It is also excellent at preventing rust.
