I just use a light coat of my over-ball revolver lube on the cylinder post thingy

, the lube is just 50/50 beeswax/olive oil, and it keeps it working for a good 24-30 shots, then I wipe the arbor down to get the gummy stuff off, using either some Windex on a paper towel, or a disposable alcohol wipe (that I keep for swabbing between shots with the rifles) and recoat with new lube. If the pistol and/or the weather is warm though, my lube is almost as soft as Bore Butter anyway, so either would be a great choice.
