Walther Special Grease (Spezialfett) Replacement

I've recently purchased a Walther SSP and LP400. The SSP came with a small tube of Special Grease to lubricate the springs. The local distributor has just told me that Walther don't sell this as an accessory and that i should source a good non teflon based grease instead. Similarly for the LP400 they suggest a good silicon based grease. I'm relatively new to this sport and would welcome suggestions from the community as to what products may be suitable.

Thanks.

Good question, I wonder about this grease too... will be a silicon based grease, or a molly grease viable options?

Go to a SCUBA store and buy their silicone grease. It comes in a little flat container with a clip on lid. You can use it for the air pistol seals also. A little goes a long way and be sure not to get any on the threads for the cylinder when lubing the seal. Scott

Greetings,

I wrote to Walther asking about the lube for my Haemmerli SP20 and 280 sear.

They replied stating they use "Liqui-Moly" LM47

I apply a "wee bit" with a toothpick to the sear engagement surfaces. It will reduce your trigger weight so double check before going to your next match.

I found a tube on the Internet. It is used to lubricate constant velocity joints on motor cars.

The tube I got was the 100 gram size. Looks a lot like a tube of toothpaste, do not leave it in the bathroom.

Cheers,

Dave

In the US, AutohausAZ stocks LM47.

FYI...
Liqui Moly GmbH replaced No.2004 LM47 with No.2003 Long-Life Grease. Same product with different label.
