It picks up quite a bit of lint off clothing and dust just from being concealed carried. Also, little bits of leather get on to it from the holster. It is also stainless steel, so I like to wipe it down with oil since it rest against my skin. Especially in the summer when you sweat more.

1911's are the pickiest pistol about being clean and lubed. So I figure better safe than sorry since I trust my life to it.
