First, thank you so much for your service.
Second, I'm super jealous you have one of the new P01's. I may put an order in for one here soon. I would love to hear your thoughts on how the new P01's are, since you've had a chance to shoot it a few times now.
With regard to your question,
what I do to clean and lube my guns, is I usually clean them with just Breakfree CLP, or hit them first with some ISO Alcohol if they're really dirty, then CLP after the ISO.
Then when they're nice and clean I wipe them down pretty good to remove any excess CLP so they're relatively dry at this point. Then for the lube, you might laugh but I really like how this works on my guns, I hit all the parts that need lube with a very thin coat 20w50 racing oil (the one I found here at an auto parts store down the street is Valvoline).
I just really like how the racing oil provides a nice smooth action, sticks and coats very well, and provides much the same kind of feel as a light grease, but doesn't goop up like grease can do. Also, I've had several extended sessions at the range where I was putting a lot of rounds through my P09 very quickly, and the gun got quite hot a couple of times. The oil held up great, never bogged down in the lease, and maintained it's nice smooth feel all the way through the sessions, probably 350 or so rounds worth.
So, I know there are an infinite number of methods for cleaning guns out there, but I just can't say enough good things about the racing oil. I figure if it's made to protect engine components at the RPMs a racing engine sees and sustains, it should protect my pistols pretty darn well.
