In depth Gun lube test

[horsehaulin]

My understanding is that the first incarnation of Froglube had the possibility of molding if conditions were right for it. The picture going around was absolutely caked with lube (again, not used correctly). Some kind of mold inhibitor has been added to the current incarnation of FL.

well I stand corrected, but how much lube does one gun need?

I think the were taking the "more is better" approach since the gun was going in the safe for a while. Looks like they caked it on like cosmoline. I'd bet it would have been perfectly fine if applied correctly.

I tried Froglube and got malfunctions in a CZ 75 that had been flawless before. There is way too much rail to frame contact in a CZ for the amount of gumminess that Froglube induces. It might be great for a Glock with the minute frame to rail contact it has, but after the failure on the CZ, I went back to petro based lube. I used to use a combination of synthetic ATF, Mobil 1 and STP with good results. I've been using Slip 2000 EWL lately and it's also worked very well for me.

Man, I'm just too pedestrian with this stuff, I guess. CLP on mine and nary an issue.

I must be doing it wrong.

This one just makes me chuckle

You and I both.
