People tend to overthink this this, sure there are places you must be hitting but the reality is, look for wear and lube those areas, it's really that simple and can be applied to any gun. I have a wilson combat that I carry for service and I use oil on the sliding parts that show wear and I use grease on heavy impact areas (barrel lugs, lower lugs/link).

Light coat you can’t even see goes a long way. The polymer in the oil is what you need not the wetness. I wouldn’t take shooters or marine opinions I’d speak to a metallurgist about coating and drying. Wetness is bad as that picks up dirt and carbon but the property of oil is there when it’s been coated and wiped just run your finger over a barrel that way.

Everyone has a preference and a snake oil. I prefer either Brian Enos Slide Glide Grease or Wilson Combats Ultimate Lube II Grease & Oils. On a 1911 platform I use Slide Glide Lite during cold temps and the Standard or Heavy during hot months. I grease rails in both the slide and frame to ensure complete coverage of the rails. Wipe any excess at the front and rear after cycling multiple times. Barrel hood, lugs and external barrel that mates to the barrel bushing. Using either on these contact points gives the impression of a slide/frame fitted with ball bearings. Incredibly smooth. Contrary to Internet myth neither of these attract dirt into the greased areas and I’ve shot 2,000 plus rounds before cleaning. All this with zero malfunctions and still completely lubricated. Quality grease/oil is the key. To each their own. Try either, you’ll be impressed.

Then a few weeks ago I decided to buy a colt competition series 70 in .45, after one trip to the range and 100 rounds later I traded the RIA to a local shop for a colt gold cup trophy TALOR exclusive. The colts feel so much better in the hands than the RIA did. Just my thoughts.
