no way, no how, in HELL did i ever, or will ever lube ANY of my 1911's like in that article.

those pics were old, maybe back in the day, a 1911 had to be lubed like that.

i have a syringe all plastic, bought a bunch of them on amazon, and one is filled with red automotive Heavy Duty grease,

when i did give my Sig STX some grease, it was a very fine line in the slide's rails only.

but damn, even that tiny amount was a absolute mess to clean after shooting just 100 rounds.

nope, nada, no way Jose`...

i'll stick to the Lucas Extreme Duty oil.

as i mentioned many posting ago, even Dan Wesson says to use synthetic OIL to lube their 1911's, and i have 2 of them.

YMMV. Works well for me and I run my guns pretty hard.

It ain’t gonna hurt to run ‘em wet.

Ask any top-tier 1911 ‘smith and they will concur.

Factory guns are loose in tolerance. A Wilson, or Nighthawk, Alchemy, Les a Baer, etc., all run better, wetter.
