What works best for you and your guns? I usually clean them and them put them back together dry. Works, but might not be the best for wear and reliability. Do you think dry lube would be a good option for lubing them?

What kind of mags we talking? I have learned that for my Glocks, after cleaning, I use no oil or lube (Glock says no oil on mags), but use "Heavy Duty Silicon Spray" the red can and spray the outside only. Wipe off quickly though. This will make the mags SLICK. They will absolutely fly out when u hit the release. No I'll effects yet and I've been doing for a while. Try it and u'll see.

I have never oiled or lubed mags. I've never been able to compete much, though. If I were competing, and finishing near the top, I would try it to see if it gav me that extra .1 second I was needing.

The silicon makes them slick like stated above. When i hit the mag release, there is a new one headed in, so the used mag needs to be gone. Only reason i wouldn't want it gone is if I were just topping off with fresh mag. Then I would PULL/Strip the used and insert fresh one.

Depending on magazine...I use a Q-tip through count-holes to hold down follower-when I can't take mag apart-and use a little Hoppes #9 solvent and dry patch very well. It works as a lubricant and will lessen next cleaning. Make sure to clean under lip on mag before letting follower back up. No residue.

Sounds like we all handle them similarly. I probably inadvertantly lube mine slightly since I use the same wiping rag that I use on the exterior of the gun and it's slightly impregnated with a little oil. I bought some S&W dry lube a while back for my 10/22s and was just wondering if it would be beneficial to waste any of it on my mags. Neat stuff. Drys where dust doesn't even settle on it, but you can tell it lubricates pretty well. S&W calls it something else, but I suspect it's the same thing Dupont makes, PTFE or something like that. It definitely coats and lubes, but is totally dry after the carrier evaporates away. Oh well, it's fairly pricy and there's not much need in fixing something that's not broke.

Guess it would depend on what your defintion of "lube" is....

Competition is one thing....carry is another

G1D's idea is a good one...aint never tried it...

This is kinda like going to Corky's Ribs in Memphis....I like mine dry


"lube" attracts lint, grime, dust etc...Of course, if its a Glock its gonna shoot anyway

I would imagine silicon or maybe powdered graphite would be OK....
