1911 slide lube

Military military tradition. Remove magazine, remove grips if wood. Lock slide back, take in hand, submerge in light oil, remove, shake vigorously three times. Your 1911 is now properly lubricated. Precision/bullseye (2700) shooters figure if the lube is dripping off your elbow that's about right. In any case run wet!

Noob question, I just ordered my first pistol last night (Norc 1911) and I was wondering if either Locktite Moly paste, or Lucas extra heavy duty wheel bearing grease (which is what I use on my Norc M14) would be suitable. Just thinking it'd be handy if I could use something I already have in the shop.

I second the white lithium. I use it on all slide rails of all pistols, oil lightly for everything else and it's a fraction of the cost in comparison to "gun grease".
I use Lucas red n tacky for all my semi auto BCG's.

Good to know, will have to give it a try.
 
Another benefit of red n tacky or white lithium, no ridiculous step by step instructions and a bunch of do's and donts that usually lead to catastrophic failures like organic greases like frog lube.
 
Grease. It doesn't sling off.

And if the gun sits a few months between uses, it doesn't run out, evaporate, etc, and the pistol is ready to go.
