I've got a low end 1911, what is your preference for lube on such a critter and how "wet" do you recommend?

Well, my answer was Coconut oil when I read the title.......then I read the whole paragraph and your talking gun lube. I use Hornady one shot for most everything but gunzilla gets used quite a bit when I'm deep cleaning / lubing
Mobil1 5W-30. Just enough to wet the contact surfaces and a light coat on the surface exposed to the world and your salty, oily mits.
aeroshell 22 on the slide and frame rails, and aeroshell 100 50wt. oil on everything else
Hoppes Elite Gun Oil. I run my 1911 like my AR, pretty wet. Not soaking wet but liberal application of lube and then cycle the slide 8-10 times. Wipe excess away from anywhere it is pooling and wipe that excess over the entire exterior of the gun and call it good. Typically will wipe down the exterior of my mags with the oily rag as well to keep them in good finish condition.
Break free or Rem-oil on all my guns (disclaimer - do not own a 1911). Have had both bottles for years, and I use whichever I find first.
Great...thanks guys. Didn't know if there was a major lube used but seems like everyone has their own preference including Coconut!
Except for inside high-pressure barrels, I like to treat everything with Militec-1 dry lube. It doesn't get as dirty and it has helped reduce overall wear on my guns. I've I'm using a wet lube, I really like Tetra.
You'll know your running too much lube when it starts hitting you in the face.
That KY' his and hers' stuff is overrated.
makes the brass stink, regardless of which you use.
