[R-390] Wet vs dry lubes?

[rbethman]

Bob,

Using a Q-tip soaked in 90+% alcohol, dabbed in this Tungsten Disulfide, 
it gets applied in a thin coating.

It does NOT get all over, it doesn't readily remove!

This is a nano lubricant.  It forms a molecular bond with the metal 
applied to.

Past discussions pointed out that it *does* alter the color of a Blued 
firearm.  I have a slight greenish hue where it has been applied.

It does NOT rub off one bit *after* the alcohol "carrier" has evaporated.

One should ALWAYS wear nitrile or latex gloves when applying!

This stuff WILL get into the skin.  I haven't suffered any ill effect 
from this, but it is a bear to scrub off!

Most folks only know of the M-1911 .45 ACP.  However, Colt has been 
producing the *newer* M-1991A1 since at least 2005.  They currently 
retail from Colt for a bit over $1K.  This model was developed initially 
ONLY for Law Enforcement and/or U.S. Military.
