After I clean my semi-autos with Breakfree CLP and give them a final wipe down, I generally use a little Rem Oil on the pertinent spots and surfaces.
Is this good enough? Is there a better oil I should use -- perhaps with a little more staying power.

The Rem Oil I buy is also a cleaner, lubricant and protectent and I use either one of the two products you mentioned. Don't think you need to use both, but you certainly are using two of the best and most easily available products out there.

A product that I've found that works really well on bores, especially rifles, is Blue Wonder. I've gotten a ton of gunk out of barrels that I thoght were clean when using that stuff.
You just have to be careful to run an oily patch through afterward, because the metal is stripped bare of any protective residue whatsoever.

Been using Blue Wonder for years as a cleaner. I also use Hoppes 9 or elite, or breakfree. I found if I clean first with one of the organics like breakfree and follow it with blue wonder I get a bunch of crud out. The opposite is also true, Blue wonder followed by CLP, the CLP gets stuff that BW seems to miss. Then there is the electronic bore cleaner... but that is not the question you asked.
If you check your guns and there is no sign of rust/corrosion, then the oil you use is working just fine. I use Remoil on many of my guns. I put a light coating of thicker oil and/or grease in/on the metal of guns that are going into long term storage. I've used BW oil disotec on the trigger parts - seems to work to decrease the trigger pull some. side rails usually get a light coating of grease.
