I like Super lube! I don't lick my guns. Who gives a shit if it's toxic after it's hot? Works great on my ARs and pistol slides

The Ballistol has a unique odor, but it's safe. Can even be used on wounds. https://www.amazon.com/Ballistol-Multi-Purpose-Lubricant-Aerosol-Non-Aerosol/dp/B00BOM1FK2 |

Olive oil.
I believe your non-toxic lubes are vegetable based… by that I mean esters, like bio-diesel. The problem with these types of lubes is they tend to oxidize and gum-up. Petroleum based lubes are probably your best bet if corrosion inhibitor is a factor. Low odor lubes I have good experience with includes ALG Go-juice (I typically use this on trigger parts) and Lucas extreme gun oil/grease. I also use Lucas white lithium in some applications like M1A. G6 synthetic CLP is my go-to general purpose product, but it has a stronger odor than the others. |

It's only toxic if you inhale the teflon particulates or digest it at high heats. This doesn't include the vapor if it burns. I could be wrong however. |

Breakthrough products are what you seek. I do suggest not using grease on a Glock. On 9mm guns it is recommended to use a light oil, grease can actually slow down the slide speed because it's thicker. |

Glocks don't really require grease and it would end badly if you ran a high round count as it would fill with carbon and become a lapping paste.
A thin oil or similar would be better. There are also some corrosion issues with a couple of springs that oil is needed for. |

Glock recommends a light oil, and sparing application at specific points. See this illustration for Glock’s guidance. |

A thin oil or similar would be better. There are also some corrosion issues with a couple of springs that oil is needed for. Glocks work fine with Superlube grease and any sort of reasonable maintenance schedule. If you put 500+ rounds though it at a time you might want to wipe it out with a paper towel or something and relube. I doubt many people are doing that kind of firing schedule. I like Superlube for handguns as it's clear, no odor, and doesn't run/migrate out of the gun onto holsters, clothing etc. |

If you like Breakfree CLP, you might want to try Breakfree LP ( I think they recently renamed it Full Synthetic)
It doesn't have the cleaner and is a hair thicker. also stays put alittle better. it was designed for stainless and full auto weapons. https://www.amazon.com/BreakFree-Lubricant-Preservative-Squeeze-4-Fluid/dp/B0050GWBBU/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=breakfree+LP&qid=1625791787&sr=8-1 |

Ballistol isn't a grease, but is clear... and I would highly recommend for a Glock.
Use whatever you like, but I think a "grease" isn't really needed for a Glock... they can be ran pretty dry and function just fine, unlike an AR, so a light lube is more than enough IMO. |

FWIW, I got tired of trying out the new lube of the month that cost $10-15 for a 4 ounce bottle, and tried just about everything I could find... Frog lube, fire clean, etc. I finally settled on mixing one quart of Mobil 1 synthetic motor oil with one quart of Mobil 1 synthetic transmission fluid to get a half gallon for around $25.00. For places where I wanted thicker viscosity, I mixed some of the above mixture with synthetic grease. Now I have lubrication that doesn't run out of the pistol, and I can mix it as thick as I want.
I keep in mind that transmission fluid and motor oil are designed to work in environments that are hot, high pressure environments. It works great. I use it on semi-auto rifles, revolvers, semi--auto handguns, and I have yet to think I would benefit from trying another one of the lube of the month items. |

I like that super lube, with it being clear, you can just wipe your greasy finger on your white shirt and nobody will notice. I use to know a guy that could so easily change oil in any Jeep, he could wear a white shirt & English twill jacket and not get a spot of oil on himself or his clothes.

SuperLube is the grease I use on guns and have been happy with it for over 5 years.
For my daily carry G17 I spin a qtip in the grease and that is enough to put a light film coat on all the moving parts and surfaces that need lubed. When it's time to clean the gun the SL is easily wiped off and any carbon that has built up is kept soft and wipes up with it. Love it on AR Bolts and BCG, a thin film on buffer springs really quiets them up. |
