Beretta stock oil is Tru oil call Beretta and ask. That's not wax.
The waxes I've seen fingerprint were Johnsons and even Renaissance wax.
I'm very familiar with how wood is different from steel having spent years in the wood finishing/restoration trade. If you have reached the pinnacle of learning and insist on believing myths about silicone, be my guest. I have successfully restored or topcoated many pieces including gun stocks that were treated with silicone. It is not the voodoo elixir some make it out to be. There are many solvents that will remove silicone without damaging the existing oil finish. Most horror stories are from uneducated finishers failing that simple step in the process.
Some polish manufacturers have jumped on the anti silicone bandwagon in recent years leading people to believe silicone is bad. In fact silicone is probably the most stable thing in those polishes and they do almost nothing without it. Silicone is actually added to paints and varnishes to reduce fisheye and even flow/coverage of said coatings.
