The lubricant that was originally supplied with my TDE .44 Automag, which was also stainless steel was actually a very similar product to the STP oil treatment that you could purchase in any autoparts store (and was rumored to be the same product).

It is sticky in nature (unless mixed with oil and then it becomes super slippery), but was supposed to prevent galling of the stainless steel...

I fired that gun about 400 times, and don't shoot it any more. It is a gun safe queen now, but I never experience any problems with galling using that lube.
