There's nothing civil about this war.
Glad you like the CLP. A haven't found an needle style applicator I would like to offer as of yet. I have people ask for them, but most I have tried leak, or the tips bend easy. Customers tell me they like the idea of ones that come with other brands, but they have issues with them, especially if they end up in a range bag. Honestly, I am a proponent of running wet, so precise application really isn't such a big deal. I don't know how many times we have had to help out another shooter on the range with a squirt of oil, as their guns bound up with desert dust and the light application of lube they had on the gun. At the Safariland Expedition Multigun match last year, it was running 117-122 degrees out and competitors guns were binding up left and right. A good dose got them going again.

I won't worry about it then.
It's not a high round count example but the CLP worked well for me this weekend. Temps were in the low teens, winds were low, snow on the ground, otherwise, it was miserable. Lubed up my issued M4 before zero and qualification and everything functioned fine.
I have a couple of the Titan Tools 152000 precision oilers (LINK), and I like them very much. They probably aren't as "precision" as the name leads one to believe, but they are perfect for my purposes. I bought my first one almost three years ago, and I haven't experienced any leakage. I keep one in my gun cleaning box and another in my range bag. I need to order a couple more.
Under what circumstances, or on what lubrication points, is grease preferable to oil? Apologies for the elementary question...
Kind of a personal thing for a lot of folks. I like to give everything a wipedown with the CLP, then squirt some grease on lugs, sear engagement points, rails, etc. Once everything is back together, I give a nice squirt of CLP into the action and hand cycle it a few times. I personally like to run wet.

I wonder if a little bit of this grease would work really well on the rotating barrel on a Beretta PX4.
