Disclaimer: I use CLP at present.
1. I've read multiple articles on this topic by various people and it seems like there are two tribes: grease vs oil. One article says absolutely use grease (the right kind) in the usual places - frame rails, slide etc etc. The next says absolutely don't use grease, it attracts contaminants like sand, instead use oil (the right kind) in the usual places. Purely by coincidence, I'm sure, both types of articles usually have fine print disclaimers saying that the author is sponsored by Acme Lubricants or whatever....
Anyway, I'm looking for a lightweight Commander at the moment and want to start it right. My current RIA is a learning tool.
2. Prevention of idiot scratch? Best suggestion I've read is getting an Ed Brown slide stop which is already notched. Other suggestions?
