Despite what some here say about grease, I use Lubriplate 130A on my firearms. I spend my time between 3 places, Pennsylvania (home), New Mexico ( Whittington Center ) and the Florida Keys ( son is stationed there). I’m everywhere from freezing to the high desert to high heat, humidity and salt water. When in New Mexico it seems like the oil will stay on the gun for a few days then it will be dry / be gone. I’ve tried Slip, Militech and good old Mobile 1. Same result.
In the Keys, the grease stays. Gun maintenance is paramount down there. It seems like I have to wipe my guns down every other day. I sweat.
Here at home, well, right now it’s in the 20s, and my guns keep chugging right along. I did have some concerns about Lubriplate in extreme cold. When it got in the single digits over night, I kept my one AR and a 19X outside. The next morning they fired normally.
I’ll stick with 130A. It stays where you put it and doesn’t run off like oil on a holstered gun.
Plus, I also use it on my bicycles bottom bracket!
ETA: I realize this thread is for revolvers. I should add, I usually have my 340 with me when I travel and I do like to take my 686 with me, because, well, I like 357s!
