I have not dived into the greased rabbit hole. But I can imagine it's like gun oil. 40 diff oil brands and if you talk to 10 people, you will get 7 different answers to which is the best.  Is this true? 

For gun oil, I use Breakthrough:

https://www.breakthroughclean.com/breakthrough-clean-technologies-battle-born-hp-pro-lubricant-protectant-2oz-bottle-w-needle-tip-applicator-clear

Only cause I use their cleaner because Ballistol smells like shit.  I stumbled on to them because KM Concepts sold it at the time and I wanted to support a friends business.  So I then looked into what else they sell and got this because of the needle tip.  It makes it easier to apply, the regular oil doesn't have a needle tip and a little messier to apply.

I did notice with the FDE coating, that it absorbes the oil, there's an oil stain that shows for a little bit, then goes away once it dries out.  Compared to a black VP9, when excess oil is on it, it just "pools".

It's not a rabbit hole.  I think most people overthink lube for guns, esp polymer pistols and ARs.  Use what you got. 

You sure that "wet spot" is oil?

And these pistols are going for collector rates because they were issued to some random grunt. All worn out like the high school slut.

if you are referring to CMP pistols those were previously issued. Some were going upwards of several thousand. Some were issued to ODAs and were modded. Those were good deals but were luck of the draw.

Almost everybody "took you'' but not necessarily considered winners.

So once they were announced to be avail to the civilian market, Gun Broker got a bunch of NIB ones.  Which they only allowed their higher members to get.  They were going for $800 and MSRP was $1500 at the time.
  Many of these were also the civilian version (states M45A1 on the slide and not USMC crossed out).

Then they had the ones who were issued to grunts (USMC on the slide that was then crossed out).  IDK if it went CMP, but they were heavily worn cosmetically.  So the finish was rubbed off from wear and stuff like that.  I can't see myself spending way more just cause some random grunt was issued it.  Odds are it wasn't even fired in combat either.  The only one that I could see being work something is if it was issued to Gen. Mattis.

I heard of a story of a guy in HI who paid big bucks for his M82 rifle cause it took the lives of a few T-ban.  He claims to have had the paperwork and was able to trace who it was issued to and when it was used.

So a guy I know who used to live here moved to TX and opened his own gun shop.  He has a M45 in for $2K.  I estimate after shipping, tax, and FFL transfer fee, total cost probably $2300.  Which means I would have saved a few hundred, but still no where to shoot it cause range closed and IDK if 45 FMJ is available.

So in the end, meh. Paid a little more to enjoy her for a little bit b4 range closed.  Plus with baby on the way, I probably wouldn't buy it now anyways.

If you want it, you should get it
I never regret buying a gun, but I sometimes regret not buying one. Especially one that's on my radar
