I understand this topic has been covered, and I have diligently Google'd and read some other threads in the forum. I don't know that the following has been covered: the P30 manual states, "Do not use lubricants that boast of their ability to penetrate metals as these substances may deaden...

Hi All Today I wiped down old oil and re oiled. In the process I was getting a rust colored residue on the patches. Mostly from the underside of the slide and front of spring.
