Froglube VS Weapon Shield

[Hi-Power Jack]

Brian Enos Slide Glide, which tested better than the competition.

+1. Why not use an Excellent lube (Slide Glide) and support our

host. I've been using Slide Glide for three years - Great Lube. :bow:

I run Weapon Shield and I'm very happy with it. You can check search Weapon Shield vs Frog lube on youtube and find a video comparing the to done by George the inventor of weapon shield. His videos are pretty interesting.

Frog lube seems to be more of a bore butter and is used to season the metal, it takes some work to use it correctly. I use 10w30 for storage and a spray lubricant for everyday cleaning. I will be getting some slide glide soon.

WEAPON SHIELD

I think synthetic oil attracts dirt

Dried oil...hmm. All motor oils have a detergent package and seal conditioners, they are in fact designed for those purposes.

Due in part to many years working in an oil analysis lab, many years working in the race industry and several grad courses in tribology, I came to see the vast majority of "gun lubes" for what they were...lubes from other industries with little or no modification and huge markups. I have, over the years run various tests on the lubes that were given to me on prize tables, in boxes with guns, etc. For several years, I used a mix of ATF and synthetic motor oil. Under testing, which included analysis of metal wear on an SEM and several ASTM friction test standards, it performed better than anything that was on the market. I combined that with Brian Enos Slide Glide, which also tested out better than the competition.

When FrogLube and FireClean came out, I tested them as well. I figured out what they were made of and tested them in extreme conditions following their instructions as well as tests not following their instructions. What I found is that they were worse than most of the typical gun oils on the market in several areas, so I merely moved on.

When I got a bottle of Lucas Extreme duty gun oil, I just went on to test it like any else figuring it would be about the same as the typical stuff. But I was wrong, and I kept testing it. I was impressed and endeavoured to learn more about it and test it in harsher and harsher conditions. That is what I use now due to the performance benefits. Lucas did later offer me a sponsorship, which I took, not for the free oil, but for the opportunity to be able to give out samples to friends and work with a company who has high standards and acts with integrity...something sorely missing in the firearms industry in the last few years.

They have recently come out with several new products, a few I have tested and talked about, like the Metal Polish. Others, I am still testing and evaluating under standard test protocols and on my own firearms. I'll not recommend them until I have thoroughly vetted them myself.

I will say that if you are using a Synthetic motor oil, using a heavier weight and adding some synthetic ATF will increase the performance.

Have you ever tested Weapon Shield and if so how did it compare to Lucas Extreme Duty gun oil?

I have tested Weapon Shield. It was okay.
