New to Lugers

Also consider the use of a preserving spray oil like RemOil in the aerosol.

I'm not sure that a high viscosity lubricant (synthetic or not) would work very well.

The Luger action is pretty finely balanced. Something that added drag to the motion could affect timing.

Of course, the effect could also be negligible...

As above, I run my Lugers well oiled, but use TW25b grease for the receiver/toggle train interface. I don't think that it matters too much the brand/type of lube as much as it matters that things are clean and well lubed. We all have our preferences, and they all work just fine.
