I just purchased some stainless steel lubricant at Academy

[phatcyclist]

I went to Academy earlier to look at various things and purchase some ammunition. I went to get some M-Pro 7 oil and noticed a product specifically for stainless steel parts. I decided to pick some of it up and try it out.

The product is RIG +P Stainless Steel Lube. It comes in a stubby 2 oz container with a screw on lid. It's white with a copper-colored label. I cannot find a picture of it on the internet, or else I would post one.

I have a bare stainless Springfield 1911 that I have trouble finding a decent oil for, everything seems to just come out the back of the slide grooves. This stuff is like rifle grease though, and seems to stick around. I've racked the slide dozens of times, which would normally leave oil on my dominant hand, but not with this stuff. The slide also glides quite smoothly on it, it feels great.

The container costs a little less than $3, I would have an exact price, but after going over my reciept, it doesn't seem like the cashier scanned it before she put it in the bag.

As soon as I have time to get to the range, I will see how it works under use.

The container looks like that except it says Stainless Steel Lube instead of Universal Grease.

I think this is the older label cause I noticed on the Midwayusa site it said "discontinued". I found it under "RIG +P Stainless Steel Lube"

Good to know, I'll have to try it out my Champ.

Works like a champ on my Sig Revolution. Put nearly 1K rounds through it using that to lubricate the slide, and have had 0 problems.

Awesome, I'm glad someone has some positive experience with it. It looks like I wouldn't be able to get out to the range for a proper review for weeks.

I tried it but haven't been too impressed with it. It breaks down under heat and basically ends up no different than gun oil.
