    Grease or Oil or Both or dry lube? The neverending debate

    For handguns is grease better, oil better, or a combination of grease and oil or this is for the dry lube fans?
    If you answer both, please commend where you use grease and where you use oil: slide, trigger, hammer, etc.
    If you like dry-lubes, say why and how you use them.

    Thanks for your comments and your votes!

    In general:
    If it rotates oil it.
    It it slides, grease it.
    There are exceptions, read the instructions when in doubt.

    Yea, I am sure we ALL follow the manufacturer's recommended practices!

    Cat and Ted: What do you use on your guns?
    Is it a secret?

    I forgot: We know Ted uses Wesson Oil...but do you use Crisco when you need grease?

    I use this on everything (Flitz),I even do everyone of my ammo all so. Grease high temp grease is the very best you can use. For oil just any good high temp oil. ------Here's one for you----A automatic transmission oil. There are two types. Type F & Dexron III. You put the F type in where Dex go's in to. Next your trans will blow out seals and gaskets. That is why I read a owners manual. To no no what type of oil or grease they say to use. Some oils & grease have add acid to it.So read upppppp...

    Ps If you like Crisco go for it. Let us all know how good it works for you..

    Metal to metal contact gets grease, for preservation it's oil.

    I finally got around to asking her: The guys and girls on the Handgun Forum want to know what floats your boat ? grease ? oil ? dry lube ?

    After I recovered from the slap to my face, and checked for loose teeth,
    she said:

    And, if you ever even consider DRY LUBE you're gonna be missing a part of your body YOU think is essential !

    Protecting your gun is certainly one of the main things!

    Maybe dry-lube is a bad idea!

    Funny!
