I've tried FC and Slip2K in my suppressed .22 adventures which is some filthy shooting. Could not see the difference. Both wiped off. The guns ran in both cases.

It's no better in the bicycle world. People get really invested in the lube they use on their $30 chain. Ok, it also affects wear on the $100 cassette and $50 (each) chainrings, but even if you replace all 3 components, you're not out as much as a used pistol. On top of the lubricating properties, many are also concerned with how environmentally friendly the lube they sparingly apply to each link is, as if they're leaving a snail trail of the stuff behind them as they ride.
As for my guns, I use ATF for liquid lube and a 16yo tub of lightweight shock grease from back when I had suspension on my bikes. A little goes a long way. That grease is the slipperiest stuff I've come across. I only use it in my revolvers' lockwork though.

I bet that twists some noses in the right bike circles.
Does it give some folks the vapors?
I'm a longtime user of Boeshield T9. It doesn't wash off like some of the water-based wax lubes, but doesn't attract dirt like the wet lubes (that sounds vaguely kinky).
Life was simpler when Phil Wood Tenacious Oil was the only lube worth using...

Finally someone interjected science into the wonder lube of the year drama.
I have been using the Lucas ED oil for about six months. Why, because I saw Proctor recommending it, it was on his site when I was buying sights, and it was relatively inexpensive.
Seems to stay put, and work for my use. Haven't taken it to -30 or done any scientific testing.
Likes pretty much everything in every caliber.
