More good info. I followed a few of the links from the one posted above. I Have never used gun grease on any of my many firearms but that doesn't mean it was the right thing to do. I must admit to rethinking the practice. Now I just need to figure out what kind of gun grease to go with.

Thanks once again for the new contributions. I suppose we never get to old for learning something new.

Thanks everyone. If I am reading it correctly, it is simply a matter of preference. Oil, dry lube or grease. Sig shows putting that grease on the slide. That seems like a bad place to have grease that can accumulate crud. Under the grips doesn't have the same exposure as the slide so I can see where this would not be a problem.

Some good suggestions here. Thanks again.

I was just cleaning my Sig 226 and my Sig 229. I had never taken the grips off before now but when I did I noticed a white gunk all in the mechanism and trigger group. I assumed it was build up so I cleaned every bit of the stuff out. When I went to clean my second sig and it had the same "gunk" I decide I might check the Internet on this.

Low and behold I learn it is a grease Sig sends with its pistols and recommends. They even recommend it on the slide. How many of you Sig owners go back with this white grease and how many just stick with a light coat of standard gun oil?

Should I put the grease back on the internal parts of the trigger group? It sure seems to attract a lot of crud.
