My SIL is moving from Tennessee to Bethel Alaska and taking her Cz P10 with her so I wanted to ask the experts in cold weather lube what y'all use to keep a semi auto running in the cold?

Thanks in advance for sharing your advice.
 
A thin film of Super Lube on the Bbl exterior,frame rails & slide rails has served me well for 35+ years in AK on my semi auto pistols(1911's,S&W 645,745,4506,1006,1076 & ,SigSauer Classic P Series 220's,226's,227's,228's,229's).

At -20F & below,carry pistol under clothing close to body heat.

( I don't use/own TupperWare pistols...aka Glucks,S&W MP's)
 
I use Hornady One Shot cleaner/lube while hunting with my Browning BAR in -20. Goes on easy and flashes away, leaving a fine protective film. Graphite makes a mess that needs cleaning on its own especially if it gets any moisture mixed in. That was my experience with it.

I do the same. Graphite is dirty.
 
I hope SIL is not driving though Canada ??????

Why? She arrives at border, declares her firearm. She pays a registration fee ($25Cdn?) has a gun lock with gun locked in a case and she is good to go. Entering Canada at an Alberta or BC crossing would be wise. Canada/US have a treaty allowing road access to Alaska by Americans. The route must be direct and does not allow for vacationing . The border was not closed to this travel during the pandemic either.

To the OP, polymer guns require little to no lubrication. In the winter I would clean the gun and not apply any lube at all IF I though the gun would be exposed to real cold conditions for any length of time.

If she wants to see a gun operate in slow motion use FrogLube. Funniest thing you ever saw. My 45 looked like it was operating at 1/5th speed. Was OK in the summer but a joke in the winter (on an indoor range,no less.).

She owns a polymer CZP10. The polymer guns require very little to no lube to function at any temperature.

IMHO living in Alaska and having a single pistol I would trade my 9mm for a 10mm Auto because of not very friendly big Yogi Bears...
