Froglube

[Skang]

When you do start firing does it start to drip? Or sometime splatter during firing?

Thanks.

I am guessing it just become mild thick liquid, not thin liquid like Wd-40.

There's tests online where folks soaked primers in different solvents and they still worked. Seems like just another gun myth.

Its not a myth. I did a test once where I put various pistol rounds in a baggie with some Weaponshield (same as FP-10). A month later, the primers worked but there was incomplete ignition in some rounds.

I'll remember that for the next time I contemplate storing lube in a bag with loose rounds.

Yup. WD40 will kill primers, as will any penetrating oil like Kroil or PB Blaster.

A lazy officer on my old South Florida department (years ago) would spray his loaded revolver with WD40 before work every day to keep it from rusting. He eventually was attacked by a knife-wielding bad guy, drew his revolver and click, click, click, click, click, click! All the rounds were dead. I don't remember if it was the powder or primers or both that were contaminated and deactivated by the WD40, but the officer had to use his S&W as a club to save himself.

I use ForgLube and like it, but haven't dunked any primers in it yet.

I started a few months ago using frog lube on just one 1911, I am straight up amazed at the results. I will be using it on all of my guns when I get some time off around the holidays. It has worked exactly as descibed, and my wife dosen't bitch about the smell.

I finally tried some of this stuff. It's been sitting on my bench for a while. My bolt was all dry and nasty from suppressed fire, so I hit it up with froglube.

The stuff has some pretty good staying power.

Sigh. I just drank the Koolaid and ordered some Froglube. I don't know if it works better than other lubes but this stuff sure is viral.

I haven't used it long enough to say that it's better. But it ran well with a lot of supressed shooting in my gun yesterday.

iGun, I had the finger on the trigger and safety off on Sunday - I managed to get the credit card back on 'safe' in time. But I will be looking forward to hearing more about this stuff - it does seem to be taking the lube world by storm.

It's good stuff. Just make sure you thoroughly strip any other residue (carbon, lubricants, grease, etc) on the parts where Frog Lube will be applied. Frog Lube needs to be the only lubricant in play. A hair dryer also does wonders to work the FL into the metal. Good luck and enjoy the minty smell.
