Gun oil/lube grease?

Postby tt3 on Tue Aug 07, 2007 1:00 pm

What do you folks use to keep your carry weapons properly oiled/protected. I carry my Kahr IWB and worry about the slide getting too much moisture from my summer self. The rails, barrel and everything else seem well lubed when I clean it, but the slide ...
Or am I just worrying too much. What should I put on the outside of the slide?
Thanks!

Mil-Tec 1 for Oil on the guns I rely on (there is a tactile difference in how my guns run after using this stuff and I can't reccomend it enough)
Wipe down with silicon impregnated cloth for externals

CLP everywhere for the quick dirty jobs (revolvers and non carry pieces)

Mil-Tec only. Sparse as one or two drops will do an entire weapon,
and I also swab the barrel with it after cleaning - makes it far easier to keep clean..............

No CLP......

I use Triflow. The next time I clean it that's what I'll use I was out last time.
