Is it OK to use WD40 on a gun?

WD-40 is NOT a protectant, cleaner, nor lubricant and should NOT be used on firearms.

Clean Lubricate Protect

Below, I will discuss how WD-40 performs in each of those roles.

Cleaner

Since WD-40 is primarily a solvent it seems to make sense that it would be ideal for cleaning guns. However, cleaning your guns with WD40 is NOT advisable.

Solvents, such as WD40, don’t remove any gunk or slime.

Solvents dissolve gunk, which then moves the dissolved goo to another area of your gun that you cannot see. Using an aerosol solvent simply “shoots” all the gunk into tiny crevices in your firearm, making them even harder to clean and can lead to “gumming” up.

Lubricant

WD-40 is a solvent and NOT a lubricant. Because it evaporates so quickly WD-40 does not function well as a lubricant in guns. Between the time you spray it on the chamber or slide and the time you load your rounds and start firing, it would almost certainly be evaporated, leaving your gun bone dry.

FACT: “WD” stand for “Water Displacement” and is primarily a solvent.

Protectant

As stated above, WD-40 evaporates so quickly, that it won’t protect your gun for very long. Before storing your firearms in a gun safe for long periods, an actual oil should be used (oil doesn’t evaporate and will protect your firearm from rusts). WD-40 is mostly comprised of mineral spirits. Once these mineral spirits evaporate, your gun will be left with unprotected metal and your firearm will start to rust.

WD40 & exceptions

There are only two situations where WD-40 can/should be used:
