Quote History Quoted:
here's an odd one for ya....
I run my carry dry.
I oil it when I'm gonna do some range time. then when done i clean it and leave it dry.
its NOT gonna fail dry. there will be NO issues.
now if you use a thick grease, it will fail. use an oil, use too much, check your eyes.
a carry gun doesn't need to be oiled to work.
but if you just have to any light oil will work.

I was at a qualification shoot, and two of the pistols on the line started malfunctioning within the first magazine (10 shots). Both were dry as a bone. Both shooters replied they didn't use lube because it would pick up dirt and cause the pistol to malfunction
Once lubricated, both pistols functioned perfectly through the rest of the shoot.
My pistol in its normal storage/carry condition with Superlube grease got pressed into service as a loaner and ended up shooting about 500 problem free rounds. It didn't fail then, nor has any other handgun I've ever lubricated with Superlube, or TW25B. I think you're doing a disservice by dissuading people from lubricating their firearms. Certain firearms will function without lube but some will not. It's a source of never ending amazement to me how many people think that not using lubricant on a firearm is a either a good idea or somehow a desirable characteristic.
