That's easy.
Hoppes #9 or Shooter's Choice to clean.
Summer time; competition pistols get liberal Slide Glide with Castrol 10w-30 synthetic in the trigger mechanisms. Get's colder; straight 10w-30 synthetic on everything.
AR's: 10w-30 synthetic
Bolt Guns: 10w-30 synthetic
Revolvers: 10w-30 synthetic
Shotguns: Hmmm, let me think... 10w-30 synthetic
If in doubt: motor oil. It's cheap, you get a quart for the price of a couple of oz's of "gun oil", and it works better than a lot of the 'special' gun oils. I've tried motor oil in every gun I can think of, and even belt fed maching guns fricken love the stuff.
If you want to get super fancy, go to Michaels and get needle bottle for a couple of bucks, or order a few from Brownells.
The only other thing I've tried and liked is the FP-10 grease that comes in the white syringe. My Glocks love it all year round, and seems to work well even in the cold in loose fitting guns. If I'm in doubt it might work, I go to, guess what.
