With all the fancy "new" "extreme" "ultimate" "innovative" "whatever" lubes out there,
Slide Glide continues to be the one constant that never leaves my gun lubing process. Stays on and keeps my stuff lubed and running.
For Glocks, a little goes a way long way. Mostly on any surfaces I see any wear.
1911s feel naked without them.
And even high wear parts on the AR. Bolt cam pin and bolt bearing surfaces near the gas key. Even softens up carbon build up inside the bolt carrier during cleaning. I do this by taking out the bolt, cleaning the bc interior, and then brushing on Slide Glide. Let it kind soak in while cleaning other parts or other guns. Then come back and finish cleaning the bc. It takes out any build up that remains.
I do augment the lubing with a little wet oil too. But never without Slide Glide. One little tub lasts for years.
