Like slip 2000 on rimfire pistols and rimfire ar. Slick, cleans easy, non-staining or greasy residue, so i slop it wherever.
On centerfires, if its to shoot piss out of, it’s whatever lightweight machine oil on shelf (freebies from beretta and benelli, mobile 1, whatever). Lugs, etc, dab of mobile 1 grease. If ccw, using miltech or tetra, just to not stain is all.
Found eezox burned off after few hundred rounds in hot classes, slowed cycle time on my old stainless cz75, crud’d on bolt faces and hot gas/shotguns. Still like on fp’s, springs, though. Ballistol, love on rifles&sxs’s, but it’s burned/crud’d on me before in semi shotguns/hot gas, too, so quit that.
Aside: recently passed friend and shooting buddy, was retired engineer, vp of engineering for huge telecommunications co we all know; gunsmith; shot for sti and later glock; olympic competitor (you get the idea). Had all manner of engineering anecdotes and wisdom to share over the years. Suffice, some of the boutique/OME gun greases peddled out there? Repackaged mobile 1. With what does/did he and rest of field ever lube competition pistols? Synth motor oil. One exception was he liked tetra on glock connectors and sears. Tied back to a ridiculous story on how he saved the optical cable cutting shop maintenance down time by using tetra rather than the spec’d lube on some cutter heads/blades. He’d know, so i just go with it.
RIP, Stan. Hope there’re fine ranges in heaven. And mobile 1, and just for you, some Tetra grease, too.
