Newbie handgun cleaning

[graz]

The next 'holy war' to incite: How much oil on frication points? I've heard opinions from 'barely any' to 'dunk that sumbitch in a barrel, shake it out.'

I am a big believer in more oil, rather than less, for a range gun. I can go through 400 rounds doing drills, meaning every contact point does its shuffle 800 times.

For a duty gun, lightly oiled.

And the other fire starter...I just use motor oil. Valvoline 10 30 FTW.
