As for running them dry, I've seen 1911s and at least one Taurus fail to load because of lack of lube. A drop of oil on the rails and both worked well.
I use Tetra or Lubriplate, both seem to work well. Never run a semi dry, you may get away with it on a P95 Ruger since the slide runs on plastic, metal to metal needs lube.
