The Seecamp forum guys (and Larry Seecamp) strongly recommend the use of Eezox to clean, lubricate and protect their pistols. It has apparently been used by the military in the middle east, and is a dry lubricant that doesn't collect dust and grit. Any thoughts/experience with use on this forum?
-
Yep! That's what I use; switched from Ballistol. The Eezox is really some good stuff. The Ballistol is good too, just like the smell better of the Eezox. My wife doesn't complain now, when I clean the guns. :)

I use it but have recently started using the Frog Lube.

Haven't tried the Frog Lube yet, but I'm sure it's really good, as well.

I have used it for many years on my guns....great on tools also....I still use a small amount of Wislon grease on the rails of my 1911's if I'm shooting 200 rounds or more between cleanings.....I always tell my friends to try Eezox and if they can honestly tell me it is not the best product they have used I will buy all they have left...........I have no connection to Eezox

I, too, use the Wilson lube on my 1911's, and have used it on the rails of the R9. Have just received 3 cans of the Eezox, but haven't used it yet. Time to try. Thanks for the input.

If you don't like it I'll buy it from you.

How does Eezox compare to Gun Butter?

I have know idea........ buy some Eezox and try it if you don't like it I'll buy from you.....I'm getting low..... ;)
I have been using it for many years....when I bought my first Seecamp that is what they recommended........YMMV

Eeezox really works well but I can't stand that smell..
-
That's strange, I like the smell.
Nothing like opening the box of a new Seecamp and getting a big whiff of EEZOX!

Just smelled my 1911( sick isn't it?)............nothing?.......once the carrier has evaporated there is very little smell..wipe off any excess before it dries... :)

I personally wouldn't use EEZOX.
It has chlorinated esters in it, and chlorinated esters - even tiny amounts can cause Chloride Stress Corrosion Cracking, especially in stainless steel.
EEZOX claims that the amout of chlorinated ester in their cleaning solution is so low that it won't negatively affect the metal in guns, but IMO, there are enough alternative cleaners and lubes out there that are chlorine free that I'd much rather use those.

Good point Count...I didn't know that when I bought mine. See Thor's thread on lubrication, just reposted for some excellent info on lubricants.
-
I use Eezox on my pistols. I carry the Seecamp a lot, so I do take it out of the pocket holster every once in a while and just wipe it down with Eezox, and then every once in a while I take just the slide off and clean those parts, and then once in a while I take the pistol completely apart and clean and lubricate t.
Today I took the slide off the R9, wiped everything down with Eezox as I have been carrying the R9 a little more lately.
Still had two Seecamps with me today and the R9.
Testing two Seecamp holsters and comparing that is why, and I wanted the R9 with me too.

Been using the Eezox regularly since my first post....I really like the way it takes the residue out of the barrel and off the innards with just a few passes. Will now use on all my pistols, but will likely continue to use the Wilson lube on my various 1911's on the rails. I'm keeping the Hoppe's #9 in the gunroom to use as an airwick 'cause I still just love that smell...reminds me of too many good times over the years.

I put just a small amount of Wilson white grease on any spot that is showing friction wear on all my guns and tools..... ;)

I use the Wilson oil.
I had a bad experience with gun grease a long time ago and have never used it since (it was not the Wilson grease)
I have Ezox but have not used much of it.
Do you use the grease and Ezox together?

Yes I use them together...The white grease comes in a needle like syringe.....I apply a VERY small amount ONLY to areas where I see signs of wear... ;)

I was not sure if it would cause any gumming issues?

If you are using your gun in extreme cold (10 degrees)they said to use Break Free CLP as your lube

I use the above lube...Haven't used it on the micro-pistols...just the Eezox alone. Use the lube on the rails of the 1911's and H&K. Eezox'ed an S&W 642 last week and liked the result.

I've been using the EezOx for about a year or two. Ever since I purchased a Kimber and the store clerk advised me that EezOx was the best stuff available.
So far, no complaints with it.
