Castrol Syntech;

I have been using this stuff ever since it came out back in the 90s, when I was shooting a lot of IPSC and 3-gun matches; Basically you have to think of a gun, especially a semi-auto, like an engine. You want the lube to be thick enough to stay put and do its job, but you also want it to have a detergent quality to it so it doesn't gum up the action, especially when you are running and gunning through a 50 round field course, or god forbid, a real fight.

I know some guys nowadays use Mobil 1, which is just as good, I guess but the thing I like about it is you can buy a quart for about 5 bucks and it will last you for several years if you shoot once or twice a month. I know when shot every weekend, I would go through a quart of Syntech every 2 years......
