1911 lubricant question

Hello All:

I was wondering what is the best lubricant for a 1911 autoloader?

I love my Ruger SR 1911 in 10 mm but it seems to be a touch finicky at times when it comes to reliability. From what I understand they need to have contact points well lubed.

So. What would be your pick? Thank you.
