Proper handgun lubrication

[scottybaw]

Try Safari Charlies lube, works great and smells minty fresh.

i use a variety of lubes under certain circumstances. rem oil, CPL, hornady hotshot (new).. they all work well

Rem oil is rated near the bottom in most tests, you may want to replace it with Dextron ATF.

Yeah. But I only use rem oil if I have to or run out. Otherwise it's cpl or hotshot.

You'd be better off using Crisco or Lard before Rem Oil. I'm being serious here. RemOil is mineral spirits. That's it. It provides almost no lubrication at all and certainly no protection against corrosion. It's too thin. But don't take my word for it. You don't know me. Read the below link. If it makes sense to you like it does most people than follow it.

The above link has been posted many times. But you might not have seen it.

Take care,

Wow, I see a lot of people shooting blanks on here... FrogLube is the real deal, folks! Check it out for yourself, buy a $8-10 T&E kit... it should treat 3/4 guns. But you don't have to take my word for it... "Reading Rainbow"! Lol ;-p
