Reducing wear on 3rd gen alloy frame rails/ramps?

[BruceB]

I'm so old skool! I use Hoppe's oil on the easy sliding parts, and anything that takes a heavier beating than the slide rails, like the cams inside the frame gets Gunslick grease. Black moly stuff, messy but effective, and those little tubes last forever - like decades !

Up until this last year, I used Hoppes oil on all my guns. Now I'm using TW25b grease on everything but my compact .40's.

Over a decade ago (can't remember exactly) I requested one of those little samples of Militec grease. I have promised myself I will repay the favor by actually buying a tube just as soon as I use up all of the sample. For the most part I would say "grease is grease" but I think the Militec is maybe a decent bit better than the average lithium grease you buy at the auto parts store.

After reading that report I feel guilty that I'm still using Lubriplate.

A lot of wear is self-limiting. Once things settle in, you won't see much more.
I'm sure it's normal and fine.
As others have said, keep guns lubed and replace the recoil spring every few thousand rounds and you're good!
