Title: Ballistol?
Post by: chasdo4 on February 21, 2009, 11:57:26 PM

I am new to guns.  I recently bought some ballistol for my R9.  Can I use it for everything - cleaning and lubricating?  Or, should I use it for cleaning the R9 and use something else (superlube or whaterver) for lubricating?  Thanks for your thoughts.

My impression is that it serves both purposes but maybe Richard
can confirm that.

Ballistol is an excellent product. But I still use a dab of Superlube on the slide.

As Tracker mentioned, I use Ballistol for both cleaning and lubrication of all my firearms. Also, like the Captain, with my R9, because of its tight tolerances, I usually add a dab of Super Lube Synthetic Grease on the slide/frame interface.

As for Ballistol, I consider it to be the ultimate "survival juice" and always have a can or two of it in my "war bag."  I use it for treating leather hunting boots and other gear, cleaning wooden rifle stocks, helping to start campfires in rainy weather, mosquito repellant, etc., etc. (If it weren't for my wife's objections, I'd probably even use the stuff as an after shave lotion.   ;))
