    After cleaning, so I hear, a light coating of gun oil, like Hoppes, over all metal surfaces. I've begun lightly greasing the rails and locking lugs, so lightly, you can't see it.

    www.militec-1.com will send a free sample of their synthetic metal conditioner (1/2 oz.) and a little tub (one oz. - probably last a lifetime if you are an infrequent shooter) of their grease.

    The only grease I use on my 1911s is a little bit of Lubriplate on the slide rails. For everything else I use Hoppes gun oil.

    Been doing this for about 45 years now and seems to work well.

    I too use a dab of grease on the rails of my Highpower and 1911 when reassymbling.
    The 1911 is a recent purchase but have had the Highpower for about 5 years.

    As far as I know, Lubriplate is a brand of white lithium grease. I use a different brand that is readily available from my local hardware store.

    FYI- the parts department of your local General Motors dealership has "GM lubriplate spray grease" thats right folks, light grease in a spray can. handiest thing since sliced bread. also, at any boat & outboard shop you can get "Corrosion Block" works great for stored items.

    Wilson combat has a grease that they reccomend and ship with some of the pistols they sell at [url][/url]www.wilsoncombat.com in my experience it is pretty good stuff I got a tube of it with my S/S protector but you can buy this stuff called R.I.G. at walmart and it is in my opinion just as good. Grease is what you want for target practice/Range time but all the pistols that I own reccomend just a layer of gun oil for duty/ carry use

    I live in an area where the soil is sandy. Lots of dust when it's dry...which is most of the time. Grease and oil attracts dust like magnets.

    I look forward to trying the new Disotec XFR lubricant from Blue Wonder. It claims not to attract dust and lent.

    Many (more than I would like to admit) years ago I was expermiting with gun lubes because I was shooting the alloy framed and then new S/S guns and gauling was a problem I came up with a lube that worked VERY GOOD then and it still does if used LIGHTLY. I mixed one part STP with three parts Break-Free. I sill have to original bottle I mixed up (4 oz) over 30 years ago and there is about half left. Give it a try! I also have used a new clear syn grease VERY lightly with good results.[^]
