do you think that synthetic oil is good for semi-automatic pistols, especially at slide and rail areas?

Depends on how fast you intend to drive them.
It may be true the "Founding Fathers" never envisioned the AR-15. What is equally true and more important, is they never envisioned, nor would they countenance their future fellow countrymen facing AR-15s while armed only with muskets! Dan Chamberlain

welcome,
depends.
if youre playing in the sandbox anything that stays "wet" will attract what you dont want.
also, i will read the manual first and see if the OEM recommends anything in particular before i bubba it. if nothing is recommended, then i will try my different lubes i have on hand. currently im using tetralube on all of my guns to see how it works.

I personally like Tri-Flow, when hunting in cold ( below 32* ) I completely de-greese them, Im only gonna shoot 2-4 times, and not having any lube wont hurt them and they wont freeze up.

Break Free will do it all. So the answer is yes, emphatically so.
Not too many problems you can't fix

Same here. Especially on carry guns. I want the lube to stay on the gun, and not leak into the holster or my clothes.

I use synthetic transmission fluid as a general gun lube and a tiny bit of grease on wear points. The STF is cheaper than anything else out there and works like a champ. A quart will darn near last you a lifetime.
Lord, make me fast and accurate. Let my aim be true and my hands faster than those who would seek to destroy me. Grant me victory over my foes and those that wish to do harm to me and mine. But Lord, if today be the day that you call me home, let me die in a pile of empty brass.
I've had great luck with Mobil 1 synthetic motor oil on the rails and barrel bushing area, with grease on the barrel lugs. I do use a bit of grease underneath the oil on the rails, but I'm not sure it's really needed, to tell you the truth.

I use Break Free which is close to Tri Flow in ingredients or works as well. If its cold enough to freeze I stay inside. Just saying.Later,

Recoil is how you know primer ignition is complete.
I use Break Free and occasionally add a drop of Mobil 1 on the rails.
TetraGun oil is all you need!! It works great!

Of all the non traditional gun oils, the ATF will work better than motor oil. Not that the motor oil will do a bad job. Anything that cuts the friction is a good thing.
Unless life also hands you water and sugar, your lemonade is gonna suck!
I currently use M-Pro 7 oil and it works great. However, once this bottle is empty i am going to try motor oil. One of my instructors at the academy uses it on his competition gun and he says it works great. if it works to lubricate and protect engine parts it should work on firearms. I will give it a try.
A dab of GunSlick Grease on a coating of Breakfree or Remoil sprayed on. Then work the slide or whatever part you coated. Do it about once every 3 months or so. It'll never wear out.
Use all lub sparingly.
I only have YOU guys to blame if things don't work out as planned.
I use Mobil 1 for all (well most) of my lubrication needs.
If you use a lube that is not SPECIFICALLY designed for firearms, you guns will disintegrate and your testicles will shrivel up and fall off.
So, be very careful using motor oil.
A thin film of Mobil one synthetic has worked for me for years.

Use the all purpose lube-------transmission fluid .
It will lube your splitter, lube your gears, lube guns, why even lube your arthritic joints.
Just contact Lubing Ned and I will send you one once of all purpose genuine lube,
guaranteed you lube all things, but, orchids for the mere pittance of~~~~~~~
Sent from my Inspiron 1200.
Oil is oil and grease is grease.....use sparingly and only where necessary. FWIW, I use CLP and mil-grade grease.
Yes.
