Just did a break job last night and was putting some high performance caliper grease on my pins and wondered how that stuff would work in my AR.  Seems like the grease used on the trigger/sear needs to be able to stick to the surface and provide lubrication.  This stuff is very sticky, slick, and high temperature.

Any thoughts or warnings against trying it?  Any other places it might be used?

Should work just fine. Ive heard of people using it for their handgun slides.

I just put a little slide glide medium on my trigger a little while ago.

The only thing I have against grease is it attracts debris, brass pieces, and carbon, which acts as an abrasive as the parts rub together.

Why did you use HP grease?

I came across a recommendation for using anti-seize on a trigger manufacturer's site (pretty similar if not the same as the brake caliper grease). In a thin film it's not sticky or tacky and shouldn't attract much gunk. I tried it on my .50 lower which has a standard DPMS trigger group with favorable results. With a mil spec trigger and heavy hammer spring it needs all the help it could get. It lightened the pull about 1/2lb and smoothed it out noticeably. It still needs a better trigger, but it's a great result using something I have a tub of in the garage.
