That's going to be gun, and weather specific. Different guns like different lubes. If you live in Alaska, grease is probably not for you. If you live in South Florida, you would find that grease stays put, and is about superior to any other regular lube. TW25B is a wonder lube. The stuff is amazing. I can lube up a Sig P226 with the stuff today and stuff it back in the safe, and it will still be perfectly lubricated 3 years from now. I use it on my carry guns as well. Why? Because I dont have to re-lubricate every 20-30 days, as if I used gun oil. I can carry a gun for 6 or 9 months, and it will be perfectly lubricated the entire time. Grease doesn't dry up. Gun oil dries up and disappears.
So for my use, in my climate, for the majority of my guns, grease is superior.
Lately Ive been using the 0000 Very thin grease from ALG, and it is the bomb.
Gun specific-
Classic Sigs - NEED grease on the slide rails
Classic Beretta - grease
Ruger 10/22 - CLP gun oil
M1 Garand - grease
AR15 - high viscosity gun oil
Glock- can realistically be ran dry. Gun oil or very thin coating of grease, doesn't matter
Ruger LCP - thin coating of grease on slide rails
