I don't understand the love for the M&P's. I've shot them and they don't impress me. But then I'm not a pretentious snob.
I also use the Remington Dry lube and have never had a problem.
Haven't read through the thread, so feel free to chastise me if this has already been answered. What lubricants would you guys recommend for cold weather. I have been using CLP year round and haven't noticed any malfunctions but I would hate for it to happen when I need the firearm to go "bang" the most.
It depens on which CLP you are using. "CLP" is a general term for "cleans, lubricates, protects from rust," and is not unique to a brand or manufacturer.
Two CLPs that I know are fine in the cold (or hot) are FP-10 and WeaponShield.
If you need a grease for cold weather (or hot), TW25B.
I should have known better, but all my army buddies have taught me to just call it CLP. Wasn't aware there were multiple manufacturers. What I commonly use is Break-Free brand.
I realize that my screen name totally outs me as a SIG fanboy, but, with that being said, I'd sure like to know what SIGs had malfunctions. I can see dirtly striker fired guns, but the hammered P22X series should have no probs, just like the P30 had no probs. Also a proud P30 owner as well.
The Army and other banches have had different supplier's CLP over the years, but they all served the same purpose(s). That's probably why they just call them all CLP. The most recent does not have teflon suspended in the mixture, whereas Break-Free CLP does.
I have never seen so many malfunctions from glocks and sigs, the one HK P30 that was there had no issues.
Sig 226 and 229..I did not notice any problems with the 3 220's on the line.
Any idea what the reasoning was behind dropping the teflon?? Was it causing some issue, or was it a budget decision?
Not really! The specs for CLP are performance based. I'll bet that it was lowest bidder for a product that met the specs.
FP-10, WeaponShield, and Slip2000 do not have Teflon, so I'm not worried about not having it in any CLP.
