Default The right grease

Guys I know this is off topic, but from what I read here I trust your
opinions. I have a new 9mm Trurus handgun. What kind of grease do you
recomend to use on the slide action. I am treasurer of my Church and
handle a lot of money so I carry this handgun. I do have a Concealed
Handgun License. In the past I used a revolver but recently upgraded
to the semiauto.


First choice is nothing. Second is very light oil.

Using nothing will enhance wearing of the irregular surfaces left from the
original manufacture, resulting in a smoother-functioning weapon.

As an aside, many years ago the Brazilian government contracted with Beretta
to provide handguns for the military. Part of the contract was that the guns
be made in Brazil, so Beretta built a factory there.

In the fullness of time, the contract expired, Brazil kept the factory and
renamed the product "Tarus."

The interesting thing about the weapon is that a bad guy can grab the slide
and, with a twist and a jerk, disassemble the weapon while you're still
holding it!

That said, if you use hollow-points, a neat trick is to fill the hollow with
dog **** and seal it up with candle wax. That way, when you shoot someone,
they die of septicemia, much to the perplexion of the doctors. Probably not
appropriate for a church worker...
