Look, for just $4.22, you’re getting a dedicated firearm grease from a trusted name like Thompson Center. That’s a fraction of the cost of many competing brands’ starter sizes. The 0.25-ounce capacity is deceptively generous—a little dab is all you need on the slide rails of a Glock 19 or the bolt carrier group of an AR-15. This tub will last through many cleanings before you need to consider a larger size. It’s a classic case of spending a few dollars to potentially save hundreds on premature parts replacement. Available at firearms-missouri.com for Missouri residents and nationwide.
Who It’s For
This grease is ideal for the shooter who understands that oil isn’t always the right tool for the job. It’s for the budget-conscious owner of a semi-auto pistol or rifle who wants to properly maintain slide rails, bolt lugs, or sear surfaces without buying a huge, expensive tube. It’s also perfect for the hunter or competitor who wants a reliable, no-mess grease in their field kit. If you’ve only ever used CLP, this is a logical and affordable next step to improve the feel and longevity of your firearm. It’s mil-spec compatible and requires no special preparation.
Pros & Cons
Pros: Exceptional value for a premium lubricant. The small size eliminates waste and is highly portable. The formula is tenacious and won’t run off vertical surfaces. It provides excellent wear protection on metal-to-metal contact points. It’s a low-risk way to see if a grease fits your maintenance routine.
Cons: Not a liquid lubricant, so it’s not for light oiling of internal springs or general wiping down. The micro tub requires a tool (like a small brush or pick) to apply neatly. If you shoot thousands of rounds a month, you’ll burn through this tub faster and may want a bulk option.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can I use this on the entire firearm?
A: No, and you shouldn’t. Grease is for specific, high-load areas. Use it on slide rails, bolt lugs, hinge pins, and sear surfaces. For general lubrication and protection, a quality gun oil is still necessary for other parts.
Q: How does this compare to something like Slide-Glide or TW25B?
A: It occupies a similar performance niche—high-pressure grease. The main difference here is the price and package size. The Thompson Center Gorilla Grease .25oz Micro Tub lets you test the grease concept for under five dollars, while many competitors start at $15-$20 for a larger tube.
Q: Is it messy to apply?
A: Not if you use the right method. Use a small brush, a cotton swab with the end cut off, or a dedicated applicator to pick up a tiny amount. A rice-grain-sized amount on each slide rail is often sufficient. It’s cleaner than dealing with runny oil.
