Looking for intelligent advice.
I have a relatively low usage Springfield XDS .45. Maybe 300 rounds thru it. I always clean and lube post use with Hoppe #9 products.
I came across a video and was surprised at the amount of oil the guy used. Bottom line, if it ain't dripping it ain't enough.

Is this guy crazy or what? I use enough so that the slide works smoothly with no hesitation. I have never had a stove pipe, light pin strike or misfire.
I would think that much oil would be a magnet for every loose piece of crap/gunk in the planet. Also other vids say don't use leather holsters for storage, I don't for my auto but I do with my Smith wheelios, which is my carry of choice.....
The XDS with attached laser/flash hangs next to my bed due to the juvenile druggie next door.
