….stuff….it's slick right?

For all guns, I clean with Hoppes #9 and oil everything with remoil.

That's it.

I forgot to oil one of my autos at a range trip awhile back and was having issues. An older RM offered me a dab of his S.T.O.S (Slicker Than Owl ****) grease for the rails. Ran smooth as butter.

So atop from Hoppes and remoil, I am thinking of also adding on a little grease to the rails. Anyone do this? I have read a few things that say grease combines with powder residue can/will gum up the gun.

Anyone out there use STOS, and if so, what is your take and more importantly where can I find a reliable online retailer for it (harder than you might think)?
