After years of stories about the effect of oil, WD40, etc on primers, I keep loaded guns oilfree and rely on dry lubes for lubrication. I shoot cartridges that have been in the gun >30 days. This also works well if the guns move into and remain in extreme cold. The slide speed of a P.38 is amazingly slow at -30F - even with a dry pistol.
