What is your preferred solvent, lubricant and oil for a handgun ?
Hi guys,
Just wanted to find out what your preferred choices are.
What solvent do you use to get rid of all the debris ?
What lubricant/oil do you use ?
And what oil do you use to oil/protect the slide from sweat/rust ?
Thanks

Same, Slip EWG for lube and whatever solvent is available to clean, RAM, Eezox, Balistol exc not bothered.
Don’t take life too seriously, no one gets out alive.

I use ALG Go Juice as a lube. Im waiting for their new grease and will change to that when it comes
Have used SLIP in the past with excellent results.
When I eventually get around to cleaning I use either the Slip cleaner or normally the Birchwood Casey gun Scrubber

I have used Slip2000 EWL in my handguns, Beretta 1301, AR15 and other guns with excellent results.
The benefit of a good synthetic oil with additives really becomes evident when shooting an AR a lot without really cleaning it after every range session. I just wipe down the carrier every now and again and relube with Slip2000 EWL the critical points and the rifle runs and stays easy to clean.Last edited by DS; 23-02-2017 at 08:21.

Clean Green for the plastic bits. Surgical spirits for the metal parts. Slip for the "after".
