I keep a container of "Rem Oil Wipes" by the cabinet I put my gun in at night. They are coated in oil. They come in handy for a quick wipe down. Just be sure you don't have a round chambered while wiping...LOL. Might catch the trigger.

This was a very excellent and practical advice. I was actually thinking, if I need to use something like that for wiping.

Questions:

1.How sparingly (or excessively) do I need to apply that?

2. Do I need to avoid anything specific (besides the handle)?

Thanks.

I drop the magazine out. Eject the round from the weapon, leaving the action locked open by the slide lock. Then I just wipe off the entire gun. You can twist it up small and push it into the barrel and chamber if you want. I don't use them every time I carry. Only if the weapon is getting lint all over it or if I have managed to sweat on it. I have used them for several years and have never suffered any damage wiping the entire weapon. I typically carry a Glock or a PM9. I have also used them to wipe down my Kimber Rapter. I typically avoid rubbing on my wood gripps with the oil. I don't know that it would hurt it but I don't want to risk discoloring the grips.

One wipe is usually good enough.
