Lubrication in 2014? Too many damn choices.

**VIP3R 237** · 04-02-14, 22:22

I have used all but Rand CLP, ISSO, and Kroil. Fireclean has been the best, with SL!P and MPRO-7 being a close second, the advantage with Fireclean has been it's ability to stay on the parts even months after application. I was most underwhelmed with Froglube. I prefer using non-toxic as I frequently shoot suppressed and having toxic gasses blown back into your face is not very pleasant.

As for your selection on the poll list, I'd vote Slip2000.

What I use,prefer and would recommend is Weapon Shield CLP.

Same here, I put SLIP 2k on everything that needs lube, well, excluding the wife.

I have had very good results with FP-10 and SLIP2000. I've had excellent results with Froglube when it's relatively new and the weather is warm. My experience is that it eventually dries into sticky, chalky crud with little lubricating quality, and isn't good at sub freezing temperatures. YMMV...

Well, "Rick Taylor" endorses Snake Oil.... it's a gun lube, mouthwash and personal lubricant all in one!

I use Slip 2k grease and normal slip 2k. Haven't tried Fireclean, but would if I saw some. Not gonna order any 'till I am out.

I got a tub of the froglube paste last year and it's lasting a lot longer than I expected. So I'll keep using that.
I also have a bottle of slip 2000 still sitting on a shelf mainly because the spray nozzle broke. So it's a pain to use. Not slip 2k's fault; my own fault for being lazy and not mitigating the problem.
And I have a zip lock baggie full of sample size single use packs of break free that were free for the taking at my lgs a couple years ago. I'll keep using those too.

Not one of the lubes mentioned above have failed me in any way. I think it mostly comes down to keeping our guns clean and lubed in the first place. Surely don't use WD-40 or canola oil, but you get the point.

If I see some fireclean, I might get it. But I won't be purposely looking for it either.
