With Glocks you want the striker channel bone dry. What about the Sig P365?

Any pistol should be dry.

I bought my PPQ from a guy who owned it all of 3 days. In that time, he decided to live it with froglube and to add to it, he apparently did the striker channel too. Months after I'd cleaned it and shot it several times, I took it out on a 40 degree day. Got light primer strikes. That's when I found he had lubed the striker channel and it had gummed up.

So don't lube strikers or firing pins.

For pretty much every weapon on the planet.

Well that's what I thought...surprising that Sig ship them out with the channel soaked in oil

Glocks have a plastic channel liner surrounding the firing pin that acts like a lubricant and protects from wear. No lube needed.
Glocks are often sold with the firing pin channel soaked in oil.

They are hipped for corrosion protection with the intent they should be cleaned before shooting - even so, most people wont have a problem since they put a box or three through it then it goes in the sock drawer for life.

I can think of no striker-fired pistol where you'd want anything but clean and dry in the striker channel.
