This experiment tested Loctite 243, a threadlocker, as a firearm lubricant on a Beretta-style 9mm pistol. After a three-hour setting period, the adhesive jammed the firearm's action, causing a malfunction where the slide failed to return to battery and the hammer did not cock. The conclusion is that Loctite should never be used as a lubricant due to its adhesive properties.

Quick Summary

Loctite, such as Loctite 243 threadlocker, should never be used as a firearm lubricant. It is an adhesive that will cause moving parts like the slide and guide rod to seize, leading to complete firearm malfunction. Always use lubricants specifically designed for firearms.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can Loctite be used as a lubricant for firearms?

No, Loctite, particularly threadlockers like Loctite 243, should never be used as a firearm lubricant. It is an adhesive designed to prevent movement, and applying it to moving parts like slide rails will cause the firearm to seize and malfunction, rendering it inoperable.

What happened when Loctite 243 was used on a firearm?

When Loctite 243 was applied to the slide rails and guide rod of a Beretta-style pistol and allowed to set for three hours, it caused the firearm to jam. The gun fired one round but failed to cycle, with the slide not returning to battery and the hammer not cocking due to the adhesive.

Why is Loctite unsuitable for lubricating guns?

Loctite is an adhesive, not a lubricant. Its primary function is to bond threaded fasteners and prevent loosening. When used on firearm components, its sticky, curing properties interfere with the smooth operation of moving parts, leading to malfunctions and potential damage.
