I most often carry a S&W 360PD five shot revolver. My ammo was Hornady critical defense in a brass case. After a year of walks with the doggo, I noticed a little rust on the ejector rod knurling (one of the few steel parts). I unloaded and did a thorough cleaning and lube (hoppes 9 solvent, lithium grease, Kroil, and carnauba wax). As I went to reload I noticed discoloration on the rim of several rounds. I clean off the rims (brasso) and went down to my LGS and picked up a box of Hornady critical duty with the nickel plating. The difference in aim point and recoil is minimal, but cost difference is significant. Just my two cents.

I use it on the parts that touch my clothing, it does not leave an oily mark, so I wax the outer parts instead to protect them from moisture.

I can see using it on the grips, but not on any metal parts. However, I have checked around on the net and see there are waxes for metal now, I've never heard of that.
