  • Comprehensive Lube Test

    I originally saw this in XDTalk. Some of you may have seen it. I think it's worth a peek.

    Thanks, Brownie,

    I'm rather sensitive to smells - that's a useful review.

      Someone went to a lot of time and trouble to test all of these products. What I learned is that you shouldn't wait 168 hours, or seven days, to clean your gun after it gets wet. Whoda thunk it.

      P.S. I put a little Hoppes behind each ear before I go deer hunting. It masks my almost human scent. Mrs. Muggsy is also attracted to it, too. Works like musk.

        I discovered that my cleaner smells like petroleum product(surprise)...............grew up with Hoppe's since I was born, and the old man was downstairs, gunsmithing. Found out that my oil smells like oil(imagine that) and that even after all the smell, and lubricity, and knowing that If I leave my firearm out in the rain, for 120 hrs.......... there's a big possibility, that it will have rust on it. After all that..............my lubricant finished in the top ten. Just goes to show you.................you can use Kerosene and sewing machine oil, and your firearm will probably still function...................with dependability. I give this gentleman credit...........I'm not working, and I don't even have that much time. If smells bother you, by all means make the switch if necessary, otherwise, what you're using is probably good(unless it's Neosporin)

          u can cover sh!t with Hoppes but it is still sh!t.. Try taking a bath muggsy. Just sayin course living in cleveland with the most poluted lake in the world, right at ur door, no wonder. I am surprised any deer even survive around there..

            Amazing work. Since my favorite lube didn`t fair so well, guess i`ll be heading out for something new. At least a good excuse to loiter around in a gun store.

              Even though my preferred lube didn't come out on top, I'll keep using it. Been using it for more than a few years and have never had any problems.

                  All very important traits for "personal lubricants". I hav tride XY jelly, KY warmin' goo, Hyperlube, or was it Hypoid-lube?, Astroglide, Dextron II, saliva and Jello brand instant puddin'.

                  By far, Jello brand instant puddin' is the best!

                        None of my solvents or lubricants made the "top ten" list but then I clean my gun(s) after each range session. IMO, if I'm using any of the old, trusted solvents or lubricants e.g. Hoppes and RemOil, it'll do the job but maybe not as well as the newer stuff. If the older stuff didn't work, it wouldn't stay on the market. It also helps living where there is a dry heat. My desicant condition indicator hasn't indicated a need to dry out the package in over a year. That's how I see it, YMMV

                          Stainless steel can and does rust. There are many different alloys referred to as stainless. Stainless steel is far more resistant to rusting than high carbon or other steels.

                            We need to hang onto this somewhere. It is pretty good info.
