Lubricating Sig 226

On the contrary, you are the one who missed the point of Gray's article. To quote Bruce Gray again: "use of a high-viscosity lubricant for practice only will definitely extend service life". Bruce Gray also said the same thing on several occasions in his posts on sigforum.com.

Bruce Gray's website recommends using grease to lubricate slide rails on Sigs:

Aside from Gray's comments, common sense and basic understanding of physics suggest that all else being equal, a higher viscosity lubricant provides better protection than a lower viscosity lubricant. There are some situations where high viscosity can be a problem (i.e. operating in a sandy environment), but if you are just shooting at the range, it's not a concern..

Whoever made this comment about common sense, is obviously no fluid engineer.

anyhow, do as you please, it makes little sense to me to lube for the range, and the field differently, for a whole host of reasons. I guess for folks limited to the range it makes sense.
 
So anyone care to venture a guess as to what the "commercially available non toxic biodegradable lubricant Gray was using ....?

Looked to me like Monsanto Oil? Corn/canola?

The SIG is a jam-omatic with any Mil-Spec lude, so I only use organic free range goat butter on mine.

Thanks Rocket-An!

I always wanted to take Sig P series armorer course but it costs to much once you take into consideration airplane ticket and hotel stay.

Cheers,

The course is worth the cost. Fortunately for me, I can drive there.
