I noticed somewhat sluggish slide movement of the stripped slide on the frame compared with FP-10 or Mil-Comm TW-25B, which is what I've been using the last couple months. I had the CCO lubed with TW-25, and after about 75 rounds it was still smooth as as it was before the range session. The Valor still functioned 100%, which is what I fully expect. I may perform an extended 500 round + test with it sometime.

I'll probably put the Wilson lube back in the range bag for now, and stick with the TW-25.



Yea I could see the grease doing that. I have been using the Ultima Lube II (Universal) it's like a thick oil Not nearly as thick as their grease But it is still thick. I might try there Ultima Lube II(Oil) and see if that's any better. Some have been telling me it's the best but everyone has there own opinion and favorite product.

I really just need to break down and get some TW-25 since I am hearing good things about it. And after reading about it, it sounds great.

Thanks for the response.
