I've used several different lubes, sometimes it's whatever is sitting close at hand. I shot at my brother's house in a different state and he uses different lubes than I generally do. So far, everything has worked just fine.

Not hard, really...

I suspect it was slightly diluted 3-in-1, but who knows.

Wilson Ultimate Lube goes on pistols sometimes too, but a bottle of cheap automatic transmission fluid is about the same thing. I tend to get a good amount of oil or grease (or both) in the slide grooves. You can over do it, I guess, but if mine hangs-up, it ain't gonna be 'cause it's dry!
I have Hoppe's solvents for bore cleaning. I got the foam, Copper Out and good ole No. 9. Don't really need much else.
