I'm sure others may have their favorites, but I've tried several top brands and none make my slide glide like Tetra. It's cheap, too. Like $5.00 for a 1 oz. tube that will last you several months because, like the old Brylcream ads, "A little dab'll do ya!"
You put a little dot on the each of the four frame slide rails and run the slide back and forth several times to distribute it along the inside of the tracks or slide grooves.
Then, take off the slide and with a soft piece of cloth and your fingernail, run it lightly along the entire length of the slide grooves so that you leave a very light coating.
The grease fills in the microscopic pits in the metal and makes it slide like Teflon.
You can also put a very light coating on other areas that call for lubrication.
BTW, I noticed that the edge of the right rear rail on my SD9VE is rough and sharp. A little sanding with my Dremel clone took care of that. But, it made me check every nook and cranny on the inside to see if there were any other rough spots that may become problematic in the future.
