Cleaning S&W 442

Have read here and was told by S&W customer rep to not use Hoppes 9 to clean the gun. He suggested Rem Oil or FP-10.

I have some FP-10 I bought a few years ago and it says it is a lubricant. The FP-10 on store shelf says it cleans and lubes. Did they change the formula?

What do you all use to clean and lube your 442?

Thanks!

Same here. Just don't get it all over the gun itself, and if you do, wipe it off. I also have a cloth, similar to the silicone cloths that is good for removing burn marks from the stainless steel cylinder.

Do not do not do not use any sort of harsh degreaser - any of the brake cleaners in a can (Instaclean is the most common one for guns). It will eat right through the clearcoat. You should see my 637's backstrap. Luckily I didn't buy it to look at.
