Sig lubrication?

[vetter3006]

I have a question for all you sig owners, I have a p229 that I just got and have been reading about lubrication and others using slide glide and such when I never uesed this type of product before on my pistols, I have always used hoppes oil, do sigs need a wetter lub more than just oil?

I use Breakfree CLP or weapons shield on all my sigs and I haven't had a problem in 20 years.

I normally run CLP on all my pistols.

I have tried running the red wheel bearing grease that James Yeager from Tactical Response recommends. It worked great, but with winter coming on I think I'll stick with the CLP.

I second the CLP motion. The fun part about CLP is that if you use it for along enough period of time and do not use a solvent on that same surface, a film of teflon builds up and slicks up the works.

I have CLP and weapon shield both which I use on my AR, but never used on pistols I will start to use it when cleaning my pistols. Thanks for the replies,and the help

Go to www.sigforum.com, go to the armorer link and search grease and lube. You will find lots of info. Fwiw, I lightly grease the rails for range time. I lightly oil the moving parts too. When I am carrying, I wipe most of the grease/oil off, leaving a very fine film.

Ok, found what I was looking for: http://sigforum.com/eve/forums/a/tpc...35/m/908103701

I posted this link in a thread a few weeks ago.

If you aren't familiar with Grayguns, Bruce Gray is the top Sig gunsmith in the country.

I lube the rails of my Sigs generously with TW-25B http://www.sightm1911.com/lib/review/mil-comm_users.htm and I use Hoppes oil on key other moving parts.

i've used kleenbore's formula 3 for a long time and love it. never had a problem.

I use Weaponshield on the pistols and on the rails I use Weaponshield grease in a syringe aplicator that Rocketfoot sells. Works like a charm for me so far.

Am I the only one who uses Red wheel bearing grease on my P226 combat to a great success?
Works great, but with winter comming up, I may try something with lighter viscocity...
