chgofirefighter Posted June 3, 2022 Share Posted June 3, 2022 Oil! Grease will attract dirt, and all sorts of bad crap~ Oil has been used on firearms for millenia so why stop now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MuayThaiJJ Posted June 3, 2022 Share Posted June 3, 2022 Oil, I only use grease on my press Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davsco Posted June 4, 2022 Share Posted June 4, 2022 i think bill wilson in one of his 1911 videos said oil but use grease (or i guess thicker oil) where you are seeing wear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoSteel Posted June 5, 2022 Share Posted June 5, 2022 Grease does a great job of retaining debris ( spent powder, brass particles, dust, etc) and turning into a lapping compound…. Also, if you shoot in a cold weather environment you have to be meticulous about cleaning it all out… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

45 Raven Posted June 5, 2022 Share Posted June 5, 2022 I think Cain killed Abel because Abel kept bringing up the "9mm vs. 45" question way back in biblical times! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First thing I did when I got mine was to take it apart and remove all the grease. And I asked them not to do that the next time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rooster Posted June 6, 2022 Share Posted June 6, 2022 This site is a pretty good read on oil vs grease debate. Very good history of lubrication of firearms. https://www.cherrybalmz.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never said that. So, please don't put words in my mouth. This subject has been debated ad nauseam on this site and others. Hence, my first post above. But, you chose to go there again. I never criticized anyone or told anyone what to do. I simply stated what I chose to do with my own gun. I have no idea why you were offended by that, or why you felt the need to attack me personally, particularly considering you have know idea of my background, knowledge base, or anything else. But, it seems to be a pattern of yours. And I have no idea how you're a moderator on this site given your temperament and need to lash out at others. As for SV and their use of grease on their guns, so what? I've known Sandy for probably 30+ years, and have tremendous respect for him. He's probably the smartest guy I know in the gun business, and in addition to being extremely knowledgeable, has always been 100% honest and straightforward with me. But, that doesn't mean we have to agree on everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boomstick303 Posted June 6, 2022 Share Posted June 6, 2022 (edited) Try both and come up with your own conclusion. Slide glide for warmer temps, Lucas Oil for lower temps for me. Edited June 6, 2022 by Boomstick303 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
