Hey CGN,

I recently purchased a used MP22 handgun from SFRC when I received it the gun was clean but extremely oiled. I inspected it seemed fine so I took it to the range and put it through its paces. I fired 800 rounds of mixed variety (bulk federal, yellow jacket, cci stingers, and bulk blazer) with only one failure, needless to say I'm stoked! After the range time I stripped it down and cleaned it well, it was very dirty, I oiled it similar to my glock few drops of oil on the major friction points. My question is how do most of you oil this type of gun? Fairly heavy, quite light or somewhere in between.

Cheers,
Duke
 
A touch of Rem oil in hard to reach places and gun lube on friction points that's it.. it stays cleaner and works smoothly for longer IMHO
 
Sweet thanks guys! That was my thoughts too, so far I am impressed by the pistol. Accuracy could be better but it is not bad. Super fun and cheap to run.
 
I purchased my a few weeks ago from the same place (not say it was them just saying). My M&P wasn't just lubed is was packed with what appeared to be grease.
Anyway, I took it to the range a put a few hundred down the pipe and just cleaned it this past Tuesday. Oiled where the manual said to... Going back out tonight to see how it is working.
Nice pistol, trying to still get it dialed in with the sights but fun. Just ordered the 9 Pro yesterday :)
Have fun
 
Try different oiled options (dry/4 drops oil/more oil in the rails/etc...)and listen to your gun, you will feel what kind of lubrification it prefer.

Yes, even with a Glock you can feel the difference...

I had a Beretta PX4 Storm, I could feel that shooting it more "wet" was just the best way for it.
