[QUOTE="druryj, post: 2950390, member: 10465"] Negative on the Frog Lube; I've read too many negatives on it to mess with it. I use Hoppes #9 and Breakfree CLP mostly to clean and lube, because that's what we used in the Marine Corps. (Thousands of Gunnys can't be wrong). Clean the bore and ramp with Hoppes, run a few dry patches through; wet patch with Breakfree CLP, and a little more black crud come out on the patch. Couple runs through with clean dry patches and done. Kinda like why I like Tabasco; it was issued, therefore, it must be good. Honestly, I don't think it really matters; I think what matters most is that you use [I]something[/I] to clean and lube. I have tried Mobil 1 as a lube as well; it seems fine. My fairly educated guess is I could probably use pretty much any of the above and it would be fine. I just gotta get a new needle point oiler, the plastic condiment dispenser full of Mobil 1 I have now has too big of an opening and I tend to over lube with it. (Caution: I had a bad experience with some kinda spray Gunscrubber stuff on a Colt 1911, it ate away at the finish on both the grip safety and thumb safety. Wish I could remember what brand it was; I think the kids gave it to me for Christmas but I can't find the darn thing now). [/QUOTE]
