The SIG’s have a steel locking block which eliminates that point of wear. The SIG’s were/have been designed for a lot of use from the get go.

You raise a good issue.
Because of the different metal and high pressure at these points I believe it's recommended to use a
grease where one metal
slides against another to prevent galling.
I use Extreme Weapons Grease or Enos's Slide-Glide on my S&W's, CZ's and Sigs. I use Lucas Extreme Duty Gun
Oil on points that
rotate.
IMHO An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure so I prefer to run 'em a little slick and wet.
