I bought a new Taurus Tcp a few weeks ago and finally got it broke in. Well I started carrying it full time middle of last week, and after two days of pocket carry all of my gun oil has seems to evaporated off. I work in the oil field and im all ways sweating. Is their a good gun oil that I can use and not have this problem. Thanks for the help in advance.

Mobil 1... [edited]
Actually Mobil 1 is a good gun lubricant, but I use RemOil in a spray to "rust proof".

You may want to check out Eezox, it's a great rust inhibitor and dries after it cures so it may last longer than a regular gun lube. I've switched over to it and have been really happy with it since. ymmv of course!

Have you tried Breakfree CLP? It's good.

You might try
Militec-1 or
Frog Lube.
I've just started experimenting with Frog Lube and I like it so far.

Thanks for all of the help. Do any of you pocket carry and have had this problem?

I've had that issue with the gun oils you pick up in Walmart or Academy, but I haven't used those in years.
Friction Defense from Brownell's is also an excellent oil, but I like Frog Lube even better.

Midway used to carry it, but no more.
Luckily, I ordered a quart of the stuff so I can refill my smaller cans & bottles.

my favorite is weapon shield oil, cleans great has good reviews all over the net, and it smells like peppermint.
with the texas weather during the summer i usually pair weapon shield with militec-1 grease due to the fact that oil tends to evaporate faster.

I usually use the heaviest motor oil I can find, in the 50w class. Currently I am using Mobil 1 15w-50 and it usually hangs onto my SIG for around 2 weeks of carry.

Gunzilla. Wipe it off and the gun still has a dry lube.

I am experimenting with 0W-30 Mobil 1 Synthetic Motor Oil. 6.24 a quart compared to most gun oils that cost around 6.24 for four ounces.
Just my .02,

I try not to keep much oil on mine, especially with pocket carry and oilfield work it'll collect a lot of gunk, good ol clp is my friend but I wipe it off until there's barely a layer of oil on there
