Metal Lubrication

Mike,

I personally feel that a very light coat of gun oil, properly applied, is good.

By properly applied I mean. Clean bore with a lightly oiled patch followed by dry patches until patches show no oil.

This leaves only the slightest coat of oil and should be repeated each time fired with non-corrosive primers.

Or each 6 mos. of storage.

Corrosive primers require special cleaning of the complete pistol to remove or neutralize the powder residue. This is very necessary at the end of each day at the range using corrosive primers.

Back to oil;

Too much oil can be a problem via wedging and increasing breach pressure to a small extent.

I'm not advocating too much heavy oil, as this might be dangerous.
