Lube For Hammer Hooks?

[Qstick]

I was wondering what lube you are using on the hammer hooks and sear nose? Slide Glide or SG light - or regular oil? Also- how much are you using, a heavy coating or minimal amounts?

I have been using regular FP10, but feel like maybe I should be using something else???

I use SG lite in the summer. FP-10 or Militec in the winter.

I slop on the black moly lube (trigger slick / action-magic / axle grease / whatever-it's-called). With some practice and a thin tool it can be done with an assembled pistol, though eventually you have to get the excess out.

SG #1, just a little

Brownells Action Lube Plus if any (and very little if I do).

Ditto that... I've got the Brownell's version. Voigt uses a well-travelled tube of black moly lube when he does trigger jobs.

Small amount of Chip McCormick Trigger Slick.

ditto, I also put it on the bottom of the hammer strut and middle finger of the sear spring. after 10 years I'm finally reaching the bottom of the tub

Use molybdenum disulfide.

What is molybdenum disulfide & where does one purchase some?

Molybdenum disulfide is a molecule that bonds with the surface of clean, degreased steel & effectively acts like a microscopic layer of ball bearings.

It is found in various "engine assembly lube/grease" and some gun products described above as: "(trigger slick / action-magic / axle grease / whatever-it's-called)."

It is also used in the polymer coating on the "black bullet" & most other "coated bullets"Its use in the barrel is controversial (see Wil Scheumann's website).

Its use on sears & hammers & newly assembled engines is not controversial. Good stuff.

I've had a little bottle of JP Trigger Prep for years that I'm still using. I have no idea what's in it... seems to shave a few ounces off the dry trigger pull...

The JP Trigger Prep is Molybdenum Disulfide in a paste form.

So, there you have it, then
