I've been using hopes 3 in 1 to lube my bolt and trigger housing.  I've heard I should switch to a dry lube, what's your thoughts and input on what to use?

So tempting......

But seriously,  I never used dry lube on any gun.  Never had any issues with clp, so never needed to switch... yet.  I think most problems come from too much lube (only in the gun world).

Yup. Breakfree for most guns, grease on guns like m1 carbines / m1a / garands. I've been thinkin of trying ballistol once I run out of breakfree,  but that's gonna be a long time from now.

Your number one Option for Personal Security is a lifelong commitment to avoidance, deterrence, and de-escalation.

Someday someone may kill you with your own gun, but they should have to beat you to death with it because it is empty.

Tuf-Glide is what I use for extreme dusty sandy conditions. It is a liquid that dries and leaves a corrosion protective lubricating film.

SLIP 2000 for the main AR parts and Ballistol for the lower. 

I use TetraOil for my pistols.  I've had this one small bottle since like 1997 and still going, so I still use it.   ;)
