Weapon Shield grease. Have a Ruger 480 that gets real funky if not well lubed.

I've got some anti-seize I use,, but I wonder,, is one brand better than another??? Just curious. ***** Having used Anti-Seize Compound labeled International Harvester, Permatex and, if memory serves Case and Caterpillar, personal experience says they behave the same. I’ve pretty much always used the aluminum base, then occasionally the copper base. The copper may have a hair-higher heat rating, a factor irrelevant to firearms, and unnoticeable on exhaust manifold bolts in iron blocks, again personal experience. On the first Dan Wesson Arms Model 44 sent out, I painted the muzzle threads with Anti-Seize. The first guns had 8 holes drilled or EDM’d through the grooves----not on the lands----with a corresponding channel in the barrel shroud and a release port to either side of the rib. Without this resilient grease protecting muzzle threads & nut, cast bullets would have rendered disassembly impossible without damage. David Bradshaw

I was experiencing with some mixing of products. A friend and I mixed equal parts balistol, Marvel Mistery oil and STP.
Seems to stay where a guy puts it. Pin is still wet after lots of shooting. MMO and Balistol both seem to keep things “loose” and not get so built up and caked on.
Another thing that I believe might not be all bad but I haven’t tried, my BFR has a base pin that is thinner in the cylinder. I do believe that it acts as a bit of an oil resivoir. Would be interesting to turn down the center of a ruger or belt mtn pin and find out if it would hold lube longer

I have both aluminum and copper based Permatex here by the bucket, so never tried any other kind, but do believe in this stuff.

Mobil 1 full synthetic wheel bearing grease... I'm a "picky" engineer, and it's the best that I've found and a $10 can will last a lifetime....

Mobil 28 or Mobil 33 (on wet days) Aviation Grease as good as it gets.

I use synthetic motor oil for most firearms applications and it works well.

Ncrobb and others: A note on Tetra grease. Never, never let it interact with Hoppe’s #9. As in, if you clean your gun with Hoppe’s, make sure all traces are gone before using Tetra Lube or grease. If exposed to one another, they make glue. A rust-colored imitation of strong contact cement. Miserable to remove in a revolver, and will glue a slide shut on a pistol. The Tetra lube is very slippery, but I stopped using it over this issue. It takes a few months to make the “glue”. Just thought you all would like to avoid this misery. God bless, Marc

Ballistol, sometimes FP-10 mixed with a bit of Brian's Slide-Glide grease. That stuff is the bee's knee's on my Dan Wesson .45 Auto. Warm weather only on the slide.!
