Hi everyone.
I currently own a Sig P226, and will soon be the owner of an M&P9C and an M&P40 fullsize. Unlike my Sig which has a steel slide on a steel frame, the M&P has a steel slide on a polymer frame, so I'm not sure how that changes things when cleaning and lubing.
For example, currently when I clean and lube my P226, I use Magnalube PTFE grease and I grease the rails as outlined in this link: http://grayguns.com/lubrication-of-sig-sauer-pistol-rails/
However, the M&P has a polymer frame and a steel slide, so how should I clean and lube when dealing with polymer? These will be my first polymer pistols. Is it okay to use Hoppes #9 on polymer? Should I continue to grease the rails or should I only use oil? Help!
