A while back, a Nanolube thread had a lot of postings, with commentary from the boss of the company. He sent me a small vial of it for a test.
Okay. I don't claim this is scientific or necessarily a Real Deal. It's subjective; based on feel of the manipulation of a pistol.
I dug out a 1911 which I built up maybe twenty years back and have used a lot. I know what it feels like or should feel like when I do the various monkey-motion stuff you do with a pistol.
It had been lightly oiled, inside and out, when I put it in the safe, some months back. So, take it out, remove magazine, rack slide, dry-fire, rack slide, dry-fire.
First, I put a drop of NanoLube on the rubbing surface of the hammer. It was then easier to rack from a hammer-down condition.
A drop on each side in the rails, and a drop where the disconnect rubs. Again, an improvement in racking the slide.
As near as I can tell at this point, it's definitely slicker than the residual RemOil that I usually have in and on that pistol.
I'll do some shoot''n'clean and do some other comparisons and comment further, in the next week or so. I just wanted to say that it's at least some definitely slick-lubing stuff.
