Automotive Anti-Seize as slide lube

Right-Wing-Nut · Post by **Right-Wing-Nut** » Thu Aug 30, 2007 8:29 am

Glocks ship with Felpro C5-A copper based Anti-Seize compound on the slide and it is suggested it be allowed to "work in" before it is removed by traditional cleaning. I have some other copper based automotive anti-seize laying around and it seems like it would be an excellent slide lube on most auto pistols. It will stay in play better than traditional oil lubes and is designed to withstand extreme temperatures, etc...

Any thoughts? I can't think of any negatives and believe the lubrication properties would be superior to light oils (although I am aware Glocks can be properly lubed using 5 drops of high-quality oil).

Thanks for feedback.

I don't know of any negatives, but it's probably overkill. Automotive lubricants have to function in a much broader range of temperature than service pistols -- up to 300Â°F.

I get the stuff out of my guns ASAP....once it mixes with a regular lube it can be difficult to get out of the slide rails.

Lube? On a Glock?

I just take off the slide, spit on the top of the frame, reinstall the slide and call it good.

I can see it now: a scene in a new "U.S. Marshals" movie that's a follow-up to to the "nickle-plated sissy pistol" line. A rookie marshal is cleaning his Glock, his cleaning stuff and FP-10 laid out in front of him, when Tommy Lee Jones walks in...
