Tetra gun grease is what i like to use on the slide rails of all my pistols. It's some pretty good stuff.

TW25B

Works in all temperatures that humans can tolerate.

I also use Tetra. I've used it on various all metal CZs, 1911s, and Sigs with no issue. Sig is now shipping a sample of TW25B with their new guns, though, and I'm thinking of giving it a go.

Tetra Grease and TW25B are similar. Tetra seems to separate easier when its warm. I have not verified that Tetra works well in the cold as I have with TW25B (-8 F was the lowest temp I've used pistols that were lubed with it). Most greases get too thick/viscous in the cold.

Jeez, grease is pretty damn expensive. Appreciate the suggestions everyone.

There was a time when I would not have believed that we would see the day of having to specify 'metal guns'.

I don't like the way the plastic ones feel, so I ordered a metal gun (CZ SP-01) as my first gun, lol. Guess theres a bit more maintenance, but it just feels much nicer.

I use the stuff you buy in the auto store for use in a grease gun. I refuse to go along with the "special greases compounded on a planet far, far away in the universe and bought here by elves living in the darkest part of the Black Forest and packaged by them then sold to the shooting fraternity as 'special grease'."

I am certainly with you. I am just not a tupperware person!

I use a Lubriplate product that NGLI #0, very soft grease and works great.

+1 for TW25B, I use a small crafts paint brush to apply to all moving metal-to-metal contact surfaces.

I could put some in a fancy syringe and sell an ounce to you for $10 if you want, or you could pick up a pound for $4.
