1911 grease?

I read somewhere that the dirtier a 1911 gets the more it tightens up and the more accurate it becomes.
I just keep applying grease to the rail / slide and wipe off the excess. Once in a long while a good cleaning maybe in order.
Military use may vary.
 
Sno-trac grease. Tested grease oil and every kinda lube available to me, amzoil gun fluids and grease and snow Trac grease good to -45*C and +37*C
 
Mil-Comm grease and oil. Recommended by Sig factory. A small vial would come with each pistol years ago. It’s good stuff as long as you use the motto “a little goes a long way”. Over time it bonds to steel/metal. Best of all it’s nontoxic. I’m a Sig Armorer, and this is all I use.
 
Super Lube grease

pro's-
Will not separate or leech oils like any lithium base grease. (LubriPlate)
Will not discolor metal or finishes.
Will not melt to 450F.
Will not gum up like anti seize.

Contains teflon PTFE

Con's-
Not the best option for corrosion prevention.
 
Lots of Snake Oil out there. And ya can probably use it too.
Shh,,2 stroke/cycle, couple drops on the bushing one each side of slide is about all my Colt gets.
 
Synthetic grease on all parts that slide, synthetic ATF on all parts that pivot, do this on all my firearms. Only exception is Slide Glide on my pistols when the weather is warm

I have a self of oils, greases, but last few years for most stuff I use super Lube, grease and oil, they are clear , the little oils are great for hinges and such, as it will stay put, and not run all over, I use it on pivot pins on hammers, triggers. It seems good on slides,
A bit heavy for some things,
I don't shoot when it is real cold, but never heard any complaints from anyone.
The little oilers I use use to buy from the distributer by the case lot , haven't seen them for a while.
