I've never had much luck getting oils to stay in place in areas such as slide rails. Even before shooting, oil seems to fall victim to gravity just by riding in my holster.

I do use oils, but generally only on parts that pivot or ones that do not receive alot of pressure or rapid cycling. Any part that slides across another.. gets grease.

Anymore, I'm lucky to get to shoot once a month. If I were to use only oil, I doubt there'd be any left if I didn't replenish it once a week. The grease.. however, stays put until I have run about 300 rounds through the gun or choose to clean it (every 30-45 days if not shot).

Maybe I'm not "up" on the latest oils, are there some that don't migrate so badly?

I'm not looking to change my lubricating practices, just curious what everyones using.

I have used Wilson's "Ultima-Lube" and small amounts of Rem-Oil for the last ten years. I have been very pleased with this combination.

I know a few people using "Spec308" (same copper based lube as factory glock), and it does stay in place, but I find it unnecessary for my kind of shooting.

A properly lubed firearm is (at least) as important as your choice of weapon and ammo.

For most pistols...you'll need both grease and oil.

What works for you guys and gals?
