A little story about lubrication.

[gb6491]

Maybe we didn't clean well enough before the first application and it reacted badly.

Applied as per their instructions, Frog Glue didn't work for me on a cold AZ morning quail hunt. The walk back to my Jeep and that I once again had a repeating arm after slapping some 10W30 on my 11-48 left me with no motivation to continue the use of FL. I didn't do any special cleaning at the Jeep, just pulled the dipstick and dripped oil into the action. Perhaps there are lubes that FL interacts badly with, but that wasn't my experience with motor oil.
However, to each his own.
Regards,
Greg

So as I mentioned previously, I lubed my Kahrs with a light application of Hoppes. Since it's apparently harmful to nickel plating I'm wondering about the wisdom of even doing that.

I've used mostly Hoppes on my Kahrs, I use it sparingly on all guns, don't soak them in it or anything like that.

I consider it a solvent and wipe it all off and then oil with something else.

I've not seen any evidence of issues to be concerned about.

I have a two-tone P9 barrel caused by leaving the chamber end of my barrel to soak for ten minutes or so in a jar of Hoppe's. Bad mojo! Don't soak nickel plated parts in Hoppe's. A wipe-on/wipe-off will not likely hurt but use your own judgement. The Hoppe's label even warns of it attacking nickel but it's in fine print which I failed to read because I was too lazy to go get my reading glasses. I still occasionally swab out the bore with Hoppe's but no more soaking! The damage is mostly cosmetic but still a reminder of the dangers in NOT carefully reading labels.

+1 On that. We use hoppes and wipe it off have have never had any damage!

Has anybody used Blu or Black Diamond products? The Blu is advertised to remove rust.
