Tuf Glide vs Eezox? - Michael - 02-14-2012
Here's one for you - I have been using Tuf Glide for the last several years on my weapons (guns and knives). Was turned on to it in Iraq by a buddy of mine in '04 as an alternative to CLP for lubrication. Worked great in the deserts of Iraq and Afghanistan. No oily residue=no dust build up=no issues when you really needed your rifle to work. I use Hoppes #9 to clean and Tuf Glide to lube and have had everything go 'Bang' when it was supposed to. This past year was hunting in the rain/drizzle all day and my rifle was still beading water when I called it quits at dark about 10 hours out in the wet. Needless to say, Im a big fan of Sentry Solutions Tuf Glide (no, I dont work for them nor do I get paid for endorsements
)Recently I have been reading up on Eezox. There are a lot of people who are saying it is the cat's meow and better than Tuf Glide. Any of you folks had any experience with either?

I use Slip 2000 for lube. As long as the lubrication is thick, displaces volume so that debris can't occupy the same space, and stays on the parts longer, unlike CLP. The AR will run dirty all day long, but not dry.

Here, is an article from accurate shooter about rust preventatives.
Eezox, while it's supposed to be a great rust preventative, is harder to find. It's a dry lube, which I just don't trust as much as an oil. This is why I've started using Corrosion X. It's a penetrating oil, and seems to be a great lubricant and rust preventative.

I use Slip 2000 for competition and practice. I hunt and hike in all weather in Montana and have had the best luck with Slip 2000. It hasn't failed me yet.

I switched from militrc to eezox. Seems to work well. I'm pretty ready on my stuff though and keep everything very clean.
I can get eezox locally which makes it easier
