I've been using grease for slide rails ever since the days of the AMT Hardballer stainlees pistols. AMT recommended white lithium grease on their guns to prevent galling. I liked it so much I started using it on all my guns. It works great at protecting the anodized finish on aluminum frames. And it's highly resistant to heat, so it stays where I put it even on the hottest days. Recently I bought some of the Mil-Comm grease and oil, since SIG recommended it. Haven't opened the grease tube yet or tried it. | |||

Head over to Glock Talk forum. There is an active thread right now on lubrication. http://www.glocktalk.com/forum...thread.php?t=1425115 | |||

Here you go. http://www.apextactical.com/bl...nternal-lubrication/ I just bought a sig, so I needed to read it too. | |||

New old guy here. I use a Lithium Moly Hi Temp brake grease. $7 for a life time supply. Stays put even after hundreds on rounds down the pipe on a Hot Nebraska day. Won't foam like I've heard the white lithiums tend to do. | |||

you can experiment with all kinds of exotic products i guess. | |||

Since the SP2022 is a polymer and the grease will spill onto the frame, is there a product to be avoided or, on the other hand, a strong recommendation? | |||

I got some Slide Glide lite and packed it in a Monoject irrigation curved tip syringe which has a curved plastic tapered spout which is perfect for applying it to the underside of slide rails. You can get them on eBay for a couple bucks. It will not scratch any part of your gun as opposed to a blunt metal needle.  This message has been edited. Last edited by: CAGLS, | |||

Another application tool option is the narrow and flexible plastic Teat Infusion Cannula, for cows. If you go with these be sure to mount them on LUER LOCK syringes so the cannula does not pop off the syringe hub under pressure.  This message has been edited.

+1 I do the same. It also makes it easy to take to range, I just put the syringe in a ziplock baggie. Bob Carpe Scrotum | |||

How do you fill the Syringe without making a mess? My Wife will be not amused if all the Grease is on the Kitchentable....  | |||

I'm also a fan of WeaponShield products. I use the ReelShield grease on my Sig P226 and my HK's due to the ReelShield is made for saltwater rods and reels and I like the protection. | |||

There is another grease I have been using lately. It is Aeroshell 22. It is a completely synthetic grease with a wide temperature range and very good EP additives. See specs here: http://www.qclubricants.com/aeroshell/aeroshell22.htm | |||

THANK YOU for this link. I've been looking for something to make my SlideGlide use less messy, and couldn't find an appropriate syringe. Obviously I wasn't looking in the right place. Much appreciated. | |||

you can also use one of those little brushes that are used for applying flux to copper pipe. Just cut about half the length of the bristles off and they work well for applying slide glide. Bob Carpe Scrotum | |||

Jumping into this discussion late - but for what it is worth; As an experiment I treated my new 938 with Miltech-1, applied as directed which requires either running the gun to operating temp or a heat gun (my method). Out of the box the gun had a "creepy" trigger. Combination of now over 600 rounds, miltech treatment and a little miltech grease on the underside of the slide has made the gun somooth as a baby's bottom. No the first 300 rounds (pre Miltech) were not able to get it there. Will report back as I learn how it performs. | |||

It's interesting how different lubes work. My new Sig P220 Elite loves grease on the rails. On the other hand my CZ75B in .40S&W will only run reliably if I use RemOil Dry Lube on all moving parts. Using dry lube on the Sig gets me feeding problems (not returning to battery) after 50 rounds or so. Using Shooter's Choice on the rails allows me to shoot all day. The same grease on the CZ causes feeding problems after about 40 rounds or so. It's not my intention to start a lubrication food fight here...LOL. I'm essentially agreeing with the OP when he said that metal-to-metal surfaces need grease. My other 14 handguns all like the DryLube but the Sig does not... | |||

We agree that lube viscosity counts, different guns call for different lubes and the same gun may require different lubes depending on temperature. But there are broader choices than just oil vs grease, For one example; Wilson Combat makes and sells four lubricants of different viscosity, branded Ultima II; Lite Oil, Oil, Universal and grease. (I have no stock in Wilson Combat, but good results with their products) and even they recommend two very thin products they do not make for sustained very cold temp's (Break-Free CLP or FP-10). My limited experience is that lubrication food fights are difficuly to avoid if you discuss thae care of your weapon with anyone other than yourself - and perhaps even then. | |||

We seem to be in violent agreement...lol. I'll have to try the Wilson Combat product line. You are correct there are many other choices beyond oil or grease. Have a great day. | |||
