I agree with lube in the magazine being a bad idea. It will gum up in short order. Its also a bad idea to stretch your mag spring (IMHO) as this ruins the springs rigidity. If Sig is telling you to lube the mag, then in my mind Sig suspects a mag problem as well and I would suspect that either of the replacement magazines you mentioned will remedy your problem.
