Remove the grips/ stock no matter what they are made of, before spraying the metal with anything. Outdoors, wearing gloves and safety glasses. Don't ask how I know.
My go to is Supertech carb cleaner although I only use it on semi-auto hand guns. It doesn't bother poly frames. I wouldn't let it close to a linseed oil finish though. Of the two mentioned I would choose Lucas. although I have used neither but I believe contact cleaner would be more benign than brake cleaner.
I just bought a can of electrical contact cleaner... actually for my new SuperDoody, but I've read where it makes a pretty good firearms cleaner. I'll have to read the can and make sure of what I have beforehand, however.
Not all contact cleaners are equal. Some are safe for plastics while others will straight out eat any polymer compounds. And some will leave a whitish film on the metal while others will not leave any type of film.
Brake cleaner usually isn't very simpatico with plastic stuff. However it eats oil like nothing else. Kinda self explanatory lol. The Contact cleaner is a good option for cleaning electrical connections and doesn't eat the plastic up. It also dries up pretty darn quick. Also I've had good luck with denatured alcohol cleaning up greasy and oil covered tools. It dries out pretty well also. I haven't had any harmful effects with the plastics used in cordless power tools but YMMV.
Pro tip, plain ol WD-40 is great at cleaning junk off your tools and such. It is a solvent after all...
