Best Lube???

Turns out I got some Frog Lube (spray liquid) in the firing pin/striker channel. Once it set up it was enough to slow down the striker causing light strikes. To complicate my confusion, at the exact same time I used up all my blazer bulk 9mm and bought 750 rounds of eastern European 9mm to try it...I thought it was the ammo at first (hard primers), it wasn't. It was the gawd damn Frog Lube. Tore the gun down, cleaned it up and it hasn't skipped a beat since.

i dont see how it was the froglube...
 
Fireclean, I've never used anything so amazing. Once you treat all the surfaces it makes cleaning so easy, you could do it with a paper towel and a bore snake. Carbon will not stick and it is decent for long term storage 12months <

Why do people love to slather guns in oil? Guns generally don't need a lot of protection (unless used or stored in adverse conditions), and guns need very little lubrication, in very few places. That lubrication needs to barely be able to lube. These arent bearings supporting tons of weight at thousands of rpm.

I've been using G96 for 35 years and it has never congealed/hardened/dried out/become sticky or caused any malfunctions of any kind.
My brief experiment with froglube clp was not as successful.

I didn't say froglube doesn't congeal. But if you spray something thinner and it gets into the firing pin channel, It will attract carbon and will cause the channel to gum up.

My point was that if the froglube got into the firing pin channel, it's the fault of the personapplying it. Don't you point your slide front down when you clean it? I do regardless of what I use.
 
I like listening to someone with decades of experience, including careers...

G96, because it smells oh so yummy. All my guns smell like eggnog, mmmmmm! Oh, and it slicks the #### out of anything it touches. I literally put that #### on everything, locks, door hinges, squeaky anything, you name it. WD-40 is a joke compared to G96
