I tell you what , after you strip three pistols in less than two weeks, they go back together faster. I did fumble with the sear and disconnector a little. The lube made them so slick that I had a hard time keeping them lined up together to re-install. I figured out a trick though.

I'll let y'all know how it goes, good or bad. I hope not bad.

How's it compare with Ol' Panther Piss Lube?




I might have to try it out sometime.

Man, I could never get the taste of PPL out of my mouth after I put a chew in!

I might have to check out the Frog lube. I just recently bought me some Wilson Combat Ultima lube II (Universal) and it seams to work pretty nice it's not real thick like grease but a lot better than regular oils that run and dry up.

Have you ever tried any of the Wilson Combat Lubes and if you have how does it seem to compare to the Frog lube? It kind of sounds similar.

Thanks again for the post.

No Ryan, I've never tried the Wilson Combat lube. I'm getting ready to head to the range in a little while. I'll take pictures of dirty guns and wiped clean guns and post them.

I bought a bottle of the Wilson Combat lube about 6 months ago, but I don't think I ever tried it out. I guess I threw it into my range bag and forgot about it. The next time I clean a 1911, I'll try it out to see how it compares to the TW25B I've been using.

Terry, hope to see the dirty pics!!! Also please let us know how it goes over several times out to the range. The more the info, the the better!


Terry, I do wish you'd stop by the table in the evening's even just to say "Hi"!

I put about 100 rounds through my Valor, which I had lubed up with Wilson Combat Ultima-Lube II grease.

After the session, more of the lube was squeezed out of the rail channel than I see with FP-10 ((makes sense cause it's thicker) but there was still plenty of lube where it counts. I'm sure I could have fired a few hundred more with no change.

I noticed somewhat sluggish slide movement of the stripped slide on the frame compared with FP-10 or Mil-Comm TW-25B, which is what I've been using the last couple months. I had the CCO lubed with TW-25, and after about 75 rounds it was still smooth as as it was before the range session. The Valor still functioned 100%, which is what I fully expect. I may perform an extended 500 round + test with it sometime.

I'll probably put the Wilson lube back in the range bag for now, and stick with the TW-25.
