smschulzGun Oil for CZ Shadow - which one is best?
Have a CZ Shadow 2 Orange.
This thing is tighter than my high school girlfriend.
Extremely well made and a fantastic shooter.
The first time I got it I lubed it up with my normal oil and slide glide on the rails.
It worked mostly but had problems several times returning fully to battery.
I saw a YouTube Video (sorry couldn't find it to embed) that described the issue and said to use their oil.
I cleaned it and re-lubed with their oil that came with it.
KUMMER GUNOIL.
It ran great ever since.
Did I say how great a pistol it is?

Question: What is comparable to this oil as a substitute?
The reason is that I cannot find it anywhere.
Lucas ?
Any ideas.

Nick BI’ve used Slide Glide Lite grease on my S2 since new . Now over 3k rounds later and it’s been 100% on reliability. Maybe it’s your recoil spring .
Cajun says proper ejection is 6-8 feet.

smschulz^^ naw, not the spring.
I used reg slide glide although I have the lite too but probably too much.
Such tight tolerances the supplied gun oil seems to work much better.
I'm OK with the oil ~ just can't find the original anywhere and looking for a good substitute.

cslingerI’ve actually had good luck with a product called super lube. Example below but they make a variety of products/viscosity etc. works well on folding knife pivots etc. as well.

12131The S2O is a hand fitted gun from factory, compared to the regular Shadow 2, and is extremely tight. When I had it, I really thought it was going to give me FTRTB frequently at the range. I used Slip 2000 EWL30 on it. Never a hiccup. Amazing.

dry-flyI was sold on Lucas products for awhile but have circled back to using Slip 2000. It’s excellent stuff.

dsietsI thought Lucas was good to go and bought a good supply and gifted some to my bro. but then I came across this thread:

RileyI use mostly Slip2000. On my Shadow 2 it works with a light bit of Slip grease. Same on my other CZ’s.
On my Tactical Sports Orange, it’s not much closer fit than the Shadow 2 in my example. Grease for it too.
I use a 14lb recoil in the TSO .40. and a 12lb in the S2 just as a point of interest.
For guns that don’t like grease like my new 1911, I use Slip2000 EWL 30.

wcb6092I use Lucas marine grease on the rails and outer barrel. Ballistol everywhere else. Works great for me.

Me too and I've had great success with it on the pistols I shoot regularly. However, I've taken some pistols out of the safe that I haven't touched in a few years and the TW25 has solidified or somewhat gummed. Anyone else have this problem ?
