    Oil.


    Weapon Shield or Slip2000 EWL are my personal choices.

    I've been using Tetra and it works just fine.
    The price of freedom is eternal vigilance.

    JHP's are good times, for bad people.

    Oil or grease? Depends on the part. Hi wear spots tend to get a little spot of grease with the oil, from me. Why? No method to the madness, just seems to work. I have used: http://www.militec.com/ for a while, and like it.

    This: http://crusaderweaponry.com/shop.php looks amazing, and some people local to me swear by it. I still need to use up my Militec before I try it.

    I know others that use mobile 1 with no complaints either. Seems a cheaper, no-fuss way to go for sure.

    YMMV. Get a few top lubes and see what you like. Depending on what weight recoil spring you are running, especially with lighter loads, a thicker grease may give you slide drag.

    I like the Wilsons grease, it stays where put and doesn't run off.
