My fault, I thought I posted that. It was with FireClean.
Please note, I DID NOT add the Glock video to compare it to the 1911. I only posted it so there was some idea of how general slide velocity should look on video.
I'm also not saying this is definitive proof that all firearms with frog lube will now be sluggish. It was just to show what a little frog lube liquid applied earlier that day did to my Garthwaite Colt in 48 degree weather. So far, it's the only lube that's slowed down the slide or BCG of any of my guns.
I've used a few different kinds of grease and have not had these results.

Proven combat techniques may not be flashy and may require a bit more physical effort on the part of the shooter. Further, they may not win competition matches, but they will help ensure your survival in a shooting or gunfight on the street. ~ Paul Howe
I believe he used Fireclean on the Glock. Using Frog Lube, I have had two BCG's get "sticky" or "tacky" after a few months storage in my safe (which is inside my climate controlled house)...one inside a ziploc bag and the other installed in an upper. I've got some Fireclean heading my way to see how it does.

Jon I have had the same problem with frog lube on my Sig P220. Usually heating it up helps the gun loosen back up, but even when shooting it tacky the weapon cycles like crap.
I have to say that I'm surprised by this. I thought Froglube was tested in cold weather and approved by all sorts of HSLD folks.
I try all the latest and greatest, but I keep coming back to Weaponshield CLP and a few other synthetic and conventional petroleum products.
I will say that using a biodegradable product to protect metal is probably a bad idea, IMHO. I mean, it's made to break down. What's the shelf life of these products? Just a few years I would guess, maybe a bit longer if sealed in an airtight container.
Not as surprised as I was when I discovered it had turned into an almost glue like substance on the BCG and spare bolt. Before stripping mine, I had noticed that it was somewhat tacky about a month ago. I sprayed some the liquid into the action and went shooting. A couple of weeks later, tacky again.
Another wonder lube designed to make a quick buck. I wasted my money.
Even if froglube work outstandingly awesome, I still wouldn't use the shit because who the frig wants to heat all the friggen parts every time they clean their dam weapon
