what kind of oil

[Kevin Randall]

What kind of oil do you use on your glocks and why. is there some better than others.

[glockin101]

I use Rem Oil.

[YukonGlocker]

Breakfree LP, because it's the best I have used so far.

[Speedrock]

Gun Butter because it's non-migrating and seems not to gather firing residue, therefor lasts much longer.

Much cheaper but quite good, Kellube.

[SlammedDime]

I use Amsoil motor oil...

[prairieviper]

I don't own a Glock but use Breakfree CLP on all of my guns, including the Sig P226 I carry for law enforcement duty.

TW25B Grease.

[YukonGlocker]

When everyone gets done listing what oil/grease they use I am going to do a test. I am going to do a test on corrosion resistance. I think all of the oils do a fine job of lubricating, but corrosion resistance is another issue. I know Glocks tenifer treatment is very corrosion resistant, but people have/use guns other than Glocks. I have seen pictures of rusty Glocks so I think it is possible anyway. I am going to use pieces of steel cut from one big piece of steel. I will take all the variables out that I can. I will be as scientific as I can. There are other threads similar to this one so I will search those for test oils also. If you want something tested just post it in this thread. I can get most all the oils locally (I will buy new and uncontaminated oil). I will place a mail order somewhere to get what I don't find around here. Kevin Randall, I am not trying to hijack your thread. I will start a new thread with my test results. I will be starting my test in the next week or two, so watch for the results. I am open to suggestions. I am going to talk to a friend of mine who is a mechanical engineer. If he knows a way to scientifically test the lubricating properties of the oils, without too much cost to me, I will do that also.

btw, tests hae been performed in the past by members here... might wanna search around before you spend unneeded time on something... :)

[Custom Glock Racing]

Slide Glide and Elf gear oil.

[YukonGlocker]

Yes, I have looked at the other tests. I would like to do a test of my own. I would also like to test some products that have not been tested. I have been thinking about doing this for some time now. I work with metal (welding, cutting, brazing, machining) so I have the raw materials. When I find the best anti-corrosive oil, I have other uses than just on firearms.

[Kevin Randall]

No problem YukonGlocker I would like to know how it goes.I have herd of people using gun oil in there car, Anyone else herd of this?

I sometimes use the breakfree, but the best is............

[jcmios]

Gun Butter, the best of the best. http://www.gunbutter.com/index.php

[GaryO7]

Break free,
Rig 2 oil,
Rig Universal grease.
My money is on the Rig products for corrosion resistance.

[Brander]

Gun Butter.

Try it, and you will be a convert.

Well for years I used Breakfree CLP and no probs. At a gun show years ago I was introduced to Tetra Gun Care, web site http://www.tetraproducts.com
"A superior firearms maintenance and preservation system based on a revolutionary breakthrough in patented synthetic polymer technology that will fight corrosion - reduce friction - reduce wear - improve performance - and make gun cleaning easier. The Tetra Gun Cleaning Pack Contains…

• 1 oz. Tetra Gun Lubricant: Synthetic polymer based lubricant and barrel conditioner for action, levers, and all moving parts.
• 1 oz. Tetra Gun Grease: Synthetic polymer based white grease for use on all metal to metal contact surfaces.
• 3.75 oz. Tetra Gun Spray: Synthetic polymer based cleaner and light lubricant - removes dirt, combustion residue, conventional lubricants and solvents, and offers corrosion protection.
• 4 oz. Tetra Copper Solvent: Concentrated copper, lead, powder, and plastic remover. Removes stubborn fouling from barrels and provides fast, effective cleaning without "barrel etching"." from there site.

I can say that it worked very well in my Sig228 and PPK/S and now on my new Glock 26. The real positive side of it is that you wipe it all off after your done and there is no residue of any kind. The Sig is 12 years old and so is the PPK/S and both look new. Now whether or not it tightens groups you can decide that!

Tetra is good but stinks too bad for me.

[Glock4Life]

Summitt synthetic "Reel Gun Oil".

I spoke to someone at Tetra about the shelf life of their products and the smell and they advised their new line has unlimited shelf life and the smell has been tamed. Next gun show I'll find out!

[MB7]

Fluid Film.

[jungle]

Synthetic grease. Stays put and lasts much longer than oil. Much higher wear protection and easy to apply only where it needs to be.

[Troy R]

You all really need to try out the FP-10 I posted, it really is great stuff and better than the outdated Breakfree. It has alot better coating than breakfree. I just use Breakfree to clean my guns with, I dont use it for a lube.

[mike4045]

Using Castrol syntec motor oil. Rem oil started to gel up in gun.;c

[rick458]

FP-10 used Breakfree since I got out of the Corps, until I tried FP-10, way better lubricity

[DBR]

YukonGlocker:

The best generally available lube/corrosion inhibitor is Eezox. Second best is Breakfree CLP (not LP) especially the newest formulation. I think it became available a couple of years ago. Unless you want to get into really exotic/expensive lubes you won't find better than these. For gun oil with fairly good corrosion protection, I like Redline Synthetic 50W racing oil. It stays put and is an excellant lubricant.

This is what I've used for 10 yrs. always done great for me...

Shoot guns and get a work out at the same time. :)

[buddyRoland]

CLP to clean. TW25B from Mil-Comm for the slide and rails. Outers gun oil for the small parts.

I also only use break free or clenzoil CLP to clean my guns, but, like the army taught me many years ago, I wipe it off and don't use any lubricant after that cleaning. In return I get 100% reliability and have for the last 19 years of law enforcement use and competition. I can't believe how much shooters of stock guns (without tightened rails and stuff) spend a lot of money and discussion on lubricants - I can only think people are lubricating away problems caused by poor cleaning or by the lubricant in the first place (see the other thread on here somewhere about people who can clean a gun in 5-10 minutes). If the CLP that remains on the gun after you wipe it off isn't enough, the gun has a problem.

[Click2]

What do you folks use for extreme cold? I'm currently using CLP for barrel cleaning and Ezox for internals and rails.
When I do a detailed strip and clean I use Simple Green and then rinse with water. Then all metal parts go into oven at 250 degrees for 10 to 15 min to dry. I then rub Ezox with my fingers on all parts and remove any excess with a paper towel.



FWIW

[YukonGlocker]

For extreme cold Rem-oil is the best for automatic handguns.

[Smokecloud]

for extreme cold, I use amsoil 0-30 wt synthetic. Doesnt dry out either. right now it has gotten me through a few nights at around 6 degrees F., but it is not the cold season just quite yet.

militech metal conditioner, militech grease on the rails.

Kevin,

Don't get too much into all these lubricants on the market. I have a shelf full of different brands that all tote to be the best ever! This includes the old fashion 3-in-1. The Glock require so little to begin with. My personal is Breakfree. With what I have it'll take me almost 4 years to get through most of it. The Glocks are very forgiving pistols. I save the Mobil 1 for my cars only.

I couldn't agree more. There's too much emphasis placed on lube choice. I can't begin to count the number of threads I've seen on this topic in my time at GT. Practically ANYTHING (within reason) is fine to lube a Glock. If you're concerned with cold weather go light and synthetic. Brand matters little. Motor oil is a completely viable option. Don't break the bank on this one. Save the money for more ammo and range time.

[Maximaking]

Slide Glide +1
It stays where you put it, You don't need to reapply after every trip to the range. It works wonder when applied on the Glock connecter. Thanks to Dom for turning me on to it.

Todd

[schumacker]

If I remember, I put a couple drops of break-free on the slide rails and barrel hood before I head off to the range.

For carry I clean the gun bone-dry and use a teflon dry-film lube. I'm not really worried about corrosion resistance because it's a Glock, but I do worry about oil collecting lint and effecting reliability.
