    Lubricants

    For all of my semi-auto pistols, except the .22's, I use red high pressure grease, that I normally buy from the farm supply store, on the slide rails (If it's good enough for my John Deere equipment, it's good enough for my pistols). I use CLP everywhere else. Like others have already...

    22/45 MK III Ammo - WalMart or?

    I'm not a fan of Walmart but what you say is correct. The ammo sold at Walmart is the same stuff sold at a lot of other retail outlets that sell ammo. It's just that it's usually cheaper at Walmart.
