SLIPSTREAM WEAPONS LUBRICANTS
We like to think outside the box, and our search for a perfect firearm lubricant was no different. We went beyond the gun industry, and even beyond the automotive industry from which firearm lubricants are often derived. We looked at heavy industry and even the space program in our search. What we discovered was a nano-lubricant that is simply the slickest thing we'd ever seen! We then blended this nano-lubricant with a synthetic oil creating a proprietary lubricating formula, and the results we saw were simply jaw-dropping. We've since tested our formula in countless firearm makes and models and have yet to be unimpressed.
A sample of our formula was provided to a U.S. military officer for testing. After applying the lubricant he proceeded to fire several thousand rounds through his weapon in dirty, dusty conditions with no cleaning. After more than 4000 rounds fired without ahiccup he told us “It was like a 'slipstream' between the moving parts.”
Slipstream© Weapon Lubricant was born.

"So today I tried several new gun cleaning products. I used them on my nighthawk custom enforcer and semi auto .308 rifle by Crusader Weaponry.
The first product was MPro7 gun cleaner. I bought the largest spray bottle I could find. This stuff easily took off all the carbon. No harsh fumes and came off clean. I sprayed it down the bore. Ran a brush and then ran patches until they came out clean. Both bores looked immaculate. I sprayed it on the parts, let the parts sit, and then used a
tooth brush. Cleaning was never easier.
The lube I used was Slipstream. It is advertised as a synthetic with nano particulates. They mean it when they say a little goes a long way. It is black in color and leaves a light film after applied. Everything I used it on felt like it was on ball bearings. I put drops on high wear areas and applied a film with a q-tip on the rest. Next time I will use a trigger pull gauge before and after because even the trigger felt smoother and lighter. If you do use this shake the bottle well to mix the suspension fluid with the rest of the lube. Having 4 German Shepherds, dog hair gets into everything. Prior to Slipstream I would have hair cling to any part that had lubrication. I noticed that hair did not cling to the parts that had slipstream applied. I am extremely impressed with this lubrication since it does what it is supposed to do and seems to actually improve the performance.
In all honesty, the lube came with the rifle and they are made by the same company. I was skeptical about it's touted performance. I am a believer now. The rifle came with slipstream already applied and after a quick range session with it I noticed that it was easy to clean. I believe part of that is because of the already applied slipstream. I can't wait to see how this lube works on my other firearms.

I've had some questions about what I use and recommend in my equipment. I am planning to start a series of print reviews of the gear I use. Not just the gun and holsters, but also the maintenance equipment that I use. I am starting this with the lubricant that I use.
Slipstream Weapon Lubricant
The best lubricant I have ever used
I know that the title says it all, but I have to go deeper into the subject. I have been shooting most of my life, and I have tried just about every cleaner and lubricant that is out there. I found that most were pretty much the same. They would work fine for a while but would attract dirt or gum up over time. I moved on and tried the newer lubricants that claim to work even when the gun ran dry. I found that my guns jammed as soon as the oil dried. So I just went back to standard gun oils and just accepted it, which is until I heard about Slipstream. I first heard about it on a Podcast called Gundudes (no longer in production). The hosts stated that Slipstream was this amazing new product that made the gun run like it was on ball bearings. While skeptical, I decided to give it a try. I purchased the oil and the grease online and prepared to be let down again.
When the slipstream arrived, I was concerned because it was black. I was worried that it would get all over my clothing if I put as much on my gun as I did with the other stuff. I was wrong.
Let’s take a little side step here so I can explain what Slipstream is. Slipstream is Nano Particles in a lubricant. While I don’t know the exact breakdown, it is tiny graphite-like spheres suspended in an oil or grease. The oil coats the surface of the slide providing protection and lubrication. The Nanoparticles act like those Ball Bearings that were mentioned. That is all well and good but there is another benefit. As the gun heats up, from firing, the Particles get into the pores of the metal. As it cools, the particles are trapped, providing lubrication when dry. That is the story I was given at least.
I took my AR-15, Glock 36 and Springfield 1911 out and cleaned them. Those are the guns that I shoot the most, so I figured that they would be the best to test for longevity. Plus my Glock is my carry gun, making it the one I need to try to make malfunction. I oiled my 1911 and Glock and used the Grease on the bolt rails of the AR-15 (oil on the rest of it). I was surprised at the fact that after cycling the action several times, every one of them felt and sounded smoother. Now there is just to test it.
I ran over 2000 rounds of mixed ammo through the AR and put it away without cleaning. I later shot another 1000 rounds of dirty ammo through it. I noticed that the gun was dry, but it never missed a beat. Before using Slipstream it would have locked up tight if I ran it that dry without cleaning. I noticed the same thing with the 1911. Over 3000 rounds, in multiple range sessions, with no cleaning (other than wiping it off with a dry cloth) and no malfunction that wasn’t ammo related (squib load). But the big test was with my Glock 36.
I attended a handgun class taught by Garry Quesenberry. I shot about 1000 rounds in one day with no malfunctions. In fact, the gun ran better as the day went on. I decided to give it a similar test as the other guns. I didn’t clean the gun after class and planned a range session in the future. I went several sessions and still didn’t clean or lubricate the gun for every bit of 6 months. I took an advanced class and only added a drop of Slipstream to the frame rails only. Another 1000 rounds down and still no malfunction. After about 4000 rounds, with no malfunctions, I was sold. But a more recent situation solidified my belief in Slipstream.
I was teaching a Concealed Carry Class, when a student had a Bersa 380 that would only function for 1-2 rounds at a time before only partially cycling. I loaned them a gun and had another instructor take over the range while I checked the gun over. After stripping the gun down, I noticed that it did have oil on it, but it sounded and felt rough. I cleaned off the old oil and lubricated with a tiny bit (that’s all it takes) of the Slipstream Grease. After cycling several times by hand, I could feel the difference. I gave the gun back to the student and had them run through the range portion again. The gun never jammed and actually got smoother the more they shot it.
I now use Slipstream on all of my guns and it makes a huge difference, even on a Mosin Nagant 91/30 made in 1942 and a marlin 60 that hates just about everything. I even use the Slipstream grease on my reloading press. I would use it on my car if I could get enough of it. I can safely say that I have over 15000 rounds, among the various guns, with zero malfunction related to anything other than the ammo. This stuff is the real thing and I now refuse to use anything else.
The cost per bottle may be higher than that of other brands of lubricant, but the product lasts longer. I have had the same $25 bottle of oil and jar of grease combo for about 5 years and still have about half of the product left. I am pretty OCD when it comes to my guns. I clean and lubricate my carry guns every two weeks, regardless of whether I shoot them or not, and my other guns every month. I would go through a bottle of another brand, twice the size, in no time. The way slipstream works you really only need a few drops for a gun. On my Glocks, I use a cotton swab and place a drop on each frame rail and then place a drop in each rail of the slide. I actually think that is more than needed but it is my way. I then cycle several times and wipe off the outside of the gun. When I go to the range I will put a drop in the frame rails, before I shoot, to let the particles get into the hot metal.
My next step will be to send GunDoc (Joe Chetwood) my guns for a “Permanent” Slipstream treatment. He uses high-pressure to embed the nanoparticles into the metal providing a permanent dry lubrication. Also, I am going to get the newer Slipstream Styx, which is formulated for marine environments.
Give it a try. I am sure Slipstream will not let you down.
