Finally, cock the gun and apply a single drop to the sear surfaces deep inside the gun. This is why I prefer an oiler with a needle spout, as this is a difficult place to reach.

If you have a Smith & Wesson, occasionally put a drop of oil on the front locking pin under the barrel. If you have a Ruger, a drop on the crane latch will help keep it opening smoothly. After oiling either of these points, open and close the cylinder several times so the oil can work into the mechanisms.

On a Colt, a drop of oil behind the thumb latch will help reduce binding that these guns commonly experience.

Once a year you may put a drop or two of oil on each side of the hammer and let it sit upright overnight to run down into the frame. The oil should work its way down to the hammer pivot and help keep it lubricated. You can also do the same thing to the trigger, but the gun has to be stored upside down for it to reach inside.

That’s all you need to do. Any other oiling doesn’t accomplish much, because any of the places that you can easily reach aren’t important to lubricate, and you can’t reach the important parts without taking the gun apart.
