M&P Runs Itself Dry?

[WallHack]

Anyone else have this problem? I use either M-7 Pro or Hoppe's gun oil, and after a couple hundred rounds in my M&P 40 it's almost all gone. I oil all the contact points on the frame as well as a light coat on the barrel, and I always have the same problem.

Was thinking about going grease, specifically Amazon.com: Slip 2000 Extreme Weapons Grease Syringe: Sports & Outdoors Anyone else use this or something similar in a semi-auto? Results?

Use Mil issue CLP... Never get it off, or out of your weapon.

 

[TBalls]

Are you having functional issues? Premature wear? If not, I'm not sure I'd overthink this one too much.

Use better oil. I use Mobile 1 10w 30. If you're really worried use 90w gear oil.

Automotive products perform WAY better then specialty "firearms" lubricants and cost a bunch less too.

This. Or ditch the M&P. LOL. CLP is the shit.

I have started to use Mobil 1 every so often. Good stuff.

M Pro7 stuff always seems to 'dry' up faster. I think it is designed that way maybe.

This. I use the Eddie Coyle 50/50 mix of mobil1 oil and mobil1 ATF. Runs greatand I clean it ever 500 -1000 rounds whether it needs it or not.

You should grease the slide rails, not oil them...

Slide Glide tends to stay put for a long time, if you think that's important.

 

[Youradolt]

You guns own guns that need oil hahahaha

 

[ClickBoom]

Has anyone ever tried Marvel Mystery Oil on there guns, I love the stuff on my machines for lube & rust protection.

I read somewhere that transmission fluid is best for guns.

The rails have more wear than I'd like for approx. 1,000 rounds. I carry it AND shoot it, so I'd like something that stays in place

Might try this.

Whoops you get the point

Hack what wear are you seeing post a pic if you dont mind.

I just pulled my M&P40 apart to see if there was any, nope nothing i could see. Ive run 2-3k myself through this gun and when i bought it used the previous owner said he only shot like maybe 1k.

What's the story behind the blow up ?

 

[Stryker]

You should grease the slide rails, not oil them...

I use Mpro7 over most surfaces to protect them and Enos' slide glide or lubriplate on the slide - I like the feel of the action

Here is a good link that I have bookmarked - YMMV

Amazon.com: TW25B grease 1.5 oz tapered tip tube: Sports & Outdoors

+1 for TW25B grease. I use it exclusively on bolts/rails/slides/barrels and its never run dry on anything I own. I also use a drop or two of the MC2500 oil for lubrication of trigger/sear/hammer components.

 

[Deleted member 12999]

I use Statist tears. Keeps it running smoooooth.

 

[Sniper977]

Wow, looks like it might have been a plugged barrel and they sent another round down it? I'd like to know more too.

 

[Gidge]

Glad that I'm a wheel-gun guy.
Seriously, though, where and why so much oil on a semi-auto pistol (the slide)?

Yep...This. Anything with metal on metal gets the TW25B

Different points on handguns require different lubricants. In the warm months I use grease on the slide, guide rod, barrel and locking lugs, with a small drop of oil in the trigger mechanism. As the weather gets colder,and the viscosity of the grease increases on the slide, I'll switch to Mobil 1 synthetic, grease is still applied in the previous mentioned locations. I prefer grease because its stays in place and has better barrier properties than most oils, but when the weather gets cold, Mobil 1 is the way to go.
