Cooking oil might be fine (never tried it), but CRC 3-36 is my go-to lube for moving parts. Spray it on, wipe it mostly off, shoot away…

I've been using air tool oil for a couple months cause it was all I could find in my truck in a moment of need

Takes nerd to know nerd, doesn’t it??

I’ve got data on it if that tickles your fancy better…

Hey! You're the one that started some of us on this whole 1911 thing ...

Throw some sloppy slip in it and go son!

I was at a Nighthawk trade booth and their guys recommended GunButter. I bought some but haven’t tried it yet.

"Gun Butter was created by an aerospace design team using a Continuous Quality Improvement Process to specifically engineer a complete lubricant for guns." .... that sounds like half of the AI slop advertisements that YouTube serves up to me ... amazing how many things are created by aerospace design teams these days ...

Got the Dawson Precision sights mounted by a local smith. After reading some stories about how tricky they can be on these Tisas I decided not to DIY them.

I bought a Novak style front and a Novak Low-Mount for the rear. The smith said both needed a little filing but overall they fit well.

For reference my gun is the single stack Carry B9R.

I’ve also upgraded the grips, changed to a short trigger and added the bulletproof extractor. Excited to get out and shoot with the new sights now.

What height did you end up doing for the sights? Where is your impact at now?
