We keep a stainless Springfield Loaded 1911 backup gun in my wife's "Get Home Bag" which is kept in the trunk of her car. I went through it today to rotate clothing, refresh the water and generally check things out. Whatever I had lubed the 1911 with (last fall, or maybe a year ago?) had turned into a viscous goo... Not cool. She EDC's a Kimber Solo, so if the 1911 is needed it's already a bad day. I go through the bag in spring and fall, so I'm not opposed to using two different lubes, but one would be preferred. What are INGO's suggestions for lubrication in this type of application?
I currently use (and am very happy with) Slip 2000 EWL on my AR's and EDC pistols, but they all get maintained on a much more frequent basis. I would not be opposed to having a different gun in her bag, a G19/M&P/Wunder 9 or something that is more tolerant to abuse... maybe an AK? Obviously, the best answer is to maintain whatever is in her bag... [sigh] another task...
