Oil. Good 'ol fashioned Hoppes oil. Works great and I like the "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" mentality.

I'm mixing these days. For years it was nothing but CLP (Break Free). Still use that, but in high friction/contact areas (hammer face, frame/slide rails, locking lugs and barrel links/slide stops), I now use grease, and am still experimenting with brands/types.
I've tried Tetra and liked it. But the last couple places I tried to get more were out of stock. So I ordered some Wilson grease. Like it, especially the syringe applicator, but it's gone missing. So I am using a free sample of "Magnalube-G" (green stuff) PTFE Grease I got from a link in a thread here. Seems to be good stuff. I'll try 5-10 more and settle on one probably. Leaning towards a white lithium grease, probably something from automotive, so I get a lot for a small cost. And I'll find that Wilson syringe and try to reload it.
