I've experience that myself with my plastic M&P's and was warned against using heavy oil in some target pistols (specifically not to use grease in a a SIG P210A). That said, I've got both a new and old M41's in which I exclusively shoot SV (SK+) ammo and have not experienced failures as you've described. I hope that you get it sorted out. -S2

Hi Speedo2 - I live in eastern Tennessee and we don't get what I would call cold weather like we did when I lived in Michigan.
The first time I shot the original and replacement 41's was indoors at Bud's Gun Shop and Range here in Sevierville, TN. After it came back from repair I shot it in at my house and the temperature was in the 60's.
As for lube, before I sent it to SW the first time I cleaned it and did a light coat of Hoppe's Lubricating Oil w/Weather Guard(whatever that is). I didn't lube it when I got it out for the box from the repair. I shot it just like they supposedly did.
