I have a Glock 19 and bought a titanium slide from metal tech. What lube would be compatible with the titanium slide riding on stainless rails?
New Glocks come with copper colored anti-seize but is that compatible with titanium?
I have loctite copper based anti-seize and also have G96 and gojuice .
 
It's still a metal and any oil you currently use is fine. I like Rem oil but there are many other choices available. I have a Titanium and Scandium .357 Smith PD360 that all I've ever used is Rem oil and its still looking and functioning good the last 12 yrs I have owned it.

Slide rails need grease. Use whatever has leaked out of the end of your grease gun.

I've gone through maybe quarts of Rem Oil. Heck, I use it on lots more than guns though. I went through a phase where it was Hoppes or nothing (still prefer Hoppes for solvent) but my grandfather, who taught me about all there was to know about guns, never greased any of his auto-loaders.

He knew a thing or 2. He's on this list multiple times.

I have tried both grease and oil on slides. Guns felt smoother with the grease, and I realize that is purely subjective observation.

That said, I tend to oil the slide on an auto loader. If the gun is right - it runs right.

I don’t know anyone that greases a Glock.

The only thing that hurts titanium is chlorine. But it has to be dry chlorine, pool water, for example, doesn’t seem to hurt it. So, I think you’re fine using whatever lube you like. The titanium won’t be adversely affected.

“Grease if it slides, oil if it rotates” has been the rule for longer than any of us have been alive.

Although now that I think of it we grease wheel bearings, so…
 
Definitely needs Space Shuttle grease. Just a dab...

Actually, I just scrub the rails with a toothbrush with a little bore cleaner on it and wipe down everything with an oily rag. They work fine mostly dry and attract less lint and crud that way.
 
Met a fella who uses Engine Assembly Lube for his guns. Tried it myself. So far I like it. Good middle ground between grease and oil. Don't see how it wouldn't be compatible with Titanium.
