No lube. If you must, put a drop or two on the slots in the receiver the slide rails run in. Other then that all you're doing is providing a place for dirt, grime, and residue to build up on. I still have the instructions from my first 1100,circa 1967, and it states no lube at all. The action is to "float on gas provided by the firing of the shell." I know it goes against the grain for two moving contact metal surfaces not to have some sort of lube between them. But I'd say that most all operating problems I've seen over the years with gas autos can be traced to over-lubing, unless the firearm was actually broken, 99% of the time.
