Max Payne Posted April 26, 2023 Share Posted April 26, 2023 I have used this as "slickum" on my & my wife's holsters for years, & I know several cowboys who do also. Got ready to order some & found it is discontinued. I called them, & they said they didn't sell enough, & it is too expensive for them to make & sell at a reasonable price. It was about $22 for 2 oz, but it didn't take much, so a container lasted a long time. Anyway, if some of you used it, as I did, & have found a good replacement, I'd like to know about it. Thankyah!!

Rip Snorter Posted April 26, 2023 Share Posted April 26, 2023 Never used KG9, but have used Pecards for a very long time. The Smithsonian uses it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a post not long ago about KG9 being discontinued and someone mentioned a substitute but I don't remember if it was this one. Can't find that post.

It is an extremely small container so I’m using it sparingly. It seems to work ok, I’ll know more after next week when I shoot the Alabama State Match.

Rip Snorter Posted April 27, 2023 Share Posted April 27, 2023 Another choice, new to me for various purposes is Renaissance Wax from Picreator Enterprises, UK. Also a Museum Quality product. I have a recently acquired can on my work bench but have not yet begun to use it. Go to their site for more info if interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cholla Bob Posted April 27, 2023 Share Posted April 27, 2023 Leather Lightning is what I use. I am just a "half fast" shooter and it works for me. https://mitchrosen.com/products/additional-products/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edward R S Canby, SASS#59971 Posted April 27, 2023 Share Posted April 27, 2023 I have used Draw Ez for years on one sticky holster. An application works for a few matches. It is slimy and I have to wash my hands after applying it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may try the Pecards mentioned above also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oak Ridge Regulator Posted April 28, 2023 Share Posted April 28, 2023 I have a replacement for KG9 that works pretty well and is cheaper as well, the only issue is it’s white not clear like KG9, I bought 4oz of PTFE powder on line for $54 you mix it with 10 weight silicone oil also available on line fairly cheap. Make your mix as thick or thin as you like and this stuff is slippery as hell, it dries white because PTFE is white, I’m not sure what kind of PTFE KG was using in their mix, neither the PTFE or silicone will hurt your leather or your guns and a 4oz jar of PTFE will last you the rest of your life once you get things mixed. For those who don’t know PTFE is Teflon which is why it’s so slippery and when you add 10 wt silicone oil YIKES it’s like butter on ice. Hope this helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Major BS Walker Regulator Posted April 29, 2023 Share Posted April 29, 2023 I have used the Galco Draw-EZ for many years. Great stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anvil Al #59168 Posted April 29, 2023 Share Posted April 29, 2023 Running out of my KG-9. That one little jar has lasted YEARS. Just ordered the Galco EZ Draw today. Went ahead and got 2. Paying shipping anyway. Might as well. Don't know how far it goes. But know someone else you probably use some. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
