I've heard greases can cause problems in dusty conditions, but that hasn't been a problem for me.<br /><br />When I do a thorough cleaning, I detail strip, degrease, spray every surface with Tetra Spray (which at minimum gets all surfaces covered a hydrophobic and slick coating of polytetrafluoroethylene (AKA Teflon™) particles quite a bit smaller than those in CLP), then lightly grease surfaces that slide past each other, and use Tetra oil for where I need penetration.<br /><br />With this regime a 1911 can go for years, sitting in a gun rag, or carried, with occasional minimum firing, or even after putting several hundred rounds through it early in that period (although after such treatment I always clean my carry weapon).ThatWouldBeTellinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16910231314995266781noreply@blogger.com
