There was some pretty negative stuff floating around about Militec's inability to prevent corrosion. Anyone have any personal experiences that corroborate any of that?

I've yet to experience any corrosion problems while using Militec exclusively. I've taken pistols out and have had to shake the water out to load a mag. Still no corrosion...

Where are you hearing about corrosion problems? Which forum?

I'm interested in hearing other users (real world) experiences.

I suppose I'm just the opposite. I tend to take the results of controlled experiments with a little less salt than reports from the "real world", from people who may have hand's on experience with only a small number of the alternatives, in conditions that might not make a really thorough test. Many of the good reports were comming from Iraq, which is pretty dry, as climates go (desert... go figure). If your interested in it's performance, compared to other products, in controlled conditions, try the links below. I also read anecdotal reports, in multiple gun forum posts, from people who did their own testing and weren't impressed. After all of my research, I came to the conclusion that it's a poor rust preventer, compared to other available products, and a fair-to-middlin lubricant. Is it good enough? Maybe, but if there's better out there, for my purposes, then why settle for Militec. With regard to it's advantages, as a dry lubricant, in dusty environments, I simply have no such need. My firearms spend most of their time in my gun safe, in a region of the country that gets pretty humid during the summer, and the rest at gun ranges. My need for lubricity and corrosion protection easily outweigh any concern about dust and grit.

Now that's what I like!

Someone that throws out good intel!

FWIW, if you look at what I wrote before, I still like CLP as a preservative. Since I live in a desert, the dry lube properties of Militec have been good for me - and I have yet to see rust on anything I've used Militec with (in a desert, that's to be expected, right?).

I'm not trying to claim that the corrosion resistance of Militec is as good as CLP - I'm just saying that FOR ME there hasn't been any difference. If I lived in the hot and humid areas, or on a coastline where saltwater was a realistic concern.........

I bought a bottle of Slip2000. I'll give it a try one of these days. The whole reason I got the Slip2000 lube is 'cause I use Slip2000 Carbon Killer - that stuff is nothing short of MAGIC!

FWIW, and nothing more!
