Hi, fairly new to guns here, fairly new hobby with the motive of daily self protection. I have a Taurus pt111 g2 that I carry, canik tp9sa for home defense, as well as a basic ar15 that I built with my brother.
A couple of friends came over the other day and scoffed at the amount of CLP I had lubricating the handguns. One an Afghanistan vet, the other previously worked at a gun range. They cleaned my guns DRY and said that's how I should have them unless I'm either storing them for years at a time, in which I should lubricate to protect for rust, or lubricate them just before shooting for recreation. What's your input? I figure I should AT LEAST lightly lubricate my daily carry, as I obviously plan on never having to use it but will in a heart beat if need be.
If I should lubricate, what do you guys recommend? I know CLP is also used for cleaning and strips carbon, should I use with something with the sole purpose of lubrication?
Help! Thanks
Steve
