Everything.

Well, not everything, but I love this stuff. Here's where I put mine:

1) Clean the slide well, then put on some oil like normal to protect from rust. Then let oil dry and apply Armadillo. This will leave the slide protected and looking amazing.

2) Slide rails. This stuff seems to work great as a dry lube for the slide rails.

2.5) Ouside of the barrel. Why not? Just dont gum up the inside of the barrel. Don't want any obstruction there.

3) Magazines. I dont know if this does anything, but I figure it might help them glide easier.

4) Slide again. I think I have about 4 layers of armadillo on mine. I know it is overkill, but hey, I like to be protected.

5) My dry moly lubed AR-15 magazines. Finally, the finish doesnt wipe off with just touching it anymore. Plus, I would assume it helps with the mag sliding in and out of the mag well.
