S&W instructs very minimal lub for their 9 FS. None in the bore which is not what most cleaning routines suggest.
Do you run a oiled patch thru at the end to protect against rust?

Yes, I always do. Not a whole lot, just enough for a light coat.

I do as well. Just a dab will do ya...wait...that's Grecian Formula. It's still a yes from me.
 
Not where I live now, in dry country, but I did in MD. Be sure and wipe the oil out of the bore before shooting if you care where the first few shots go.
 
Not in a carry gun or one for home defense. Range guns, yeah. But I pull a bore snake through them before I shoot them.
 
Always put a light coat in bore and run a dry swab through. Even in dry conditions, you can get corrosion. Prefer to use Frog Lube now, as it wipes clear but leaves adequate protection without attracting dust and dirt in my CCW.

And Brylcreem used it before them in the 1950s. Wow! That was a trip in the way-back machine.

And yes, I run a small patch with one or two drops of oil down the bore and also each cylinder for a revolver.

I always put a light coating of oil in the barrel-makes the bullet come out faster and reduces recoil-oooops that isn't correct!:D

I do put a light coating of oil in the barrel as I have been doing that for years. Probably not needed, but I always feel better having done it.
 
I oil the bores in guns I don't plan on shooting. My Pro Core never gets added oil, when I do clean it I run Frog lube on a brush through the barrel, then patch it until dry. Of course the longest that pistol goes between shooting is 2 days (my range is closed on Mondays). :D
 
Hornady One Shot dry lube on my M&P, does not leave an oily residue, but a light film of protectant to prevent rust. And it does not attract dust and lint. I have used Frog lube exclusively on my Shield, and am not that impressed with it. But it does smell good. And it also seems to lube ok and prevent wear if I use the liquid on the slide rails. It attracts lint and dirt and has to be cleaned between shootings. because I carry it more often. That pistol does not see the same duty as the compact at the range. But is shot at least two mags every time I go. One guy kinda freaked out on me the other day watching me shoot the compact, then I pulled the Shield out of my waist band and unloaded it. He had no idea I was carrying concealed.
