Yes I to am looking for the holy grail of grease guns. I have the heavy duty Lincoln and some Alemites. I had a old black pistol grip that worked great, you squeezed the front part of the grip instead of the back part like new guns but it plum wore out. My problem with new grease guns is the follower seal letting grease bypass. Could the cardboard cartridges be thinner these days? Sometimes a 1/4 to a 1/3 of the tube will bypass and what a mess when it is time to reload. And no I am not going to be bothered with locking the follower back when not in use. New guns will not push up thick grease(wimpy spring)? And thinner grease I have used like Lucas Red & Tacky goes by the seal. So I have had the best luck experimenting with different greases till I found one thick enough to not run by the junk seal and thin enough for the junk spring to push it up. And no I do not want a electric gun. I want to feel the pressure start to build in a bearing so I do not blow out the seal. Just refill the bearing. Sometimes I count the strokes and give each the same. If you can't tell by now grease guns are my pet peeve. I do not believe a good grease gun is built today. But I keep hoping someone will build a good one again. Mark
