When new and after each range trip, I use CLP on a paper towel to wipe them clean inside and out. I'll use a squirt of CLP in the barrel followed by a couple of pull-throughs with a bore snake. Sometimes, I put a needle-thin line of grease (M-Pro-7) on the slide rail if I don't see any on them. Then I reassemble and store or holster.

Seems to work for me.....

Reminds of a line from the Robert Mitchum movie, "Thunder Road." It's been decades since I've seen it, but if I recall Mitchum apologized to his dad about wrecking their moonshine runner car. Dad says, "That's okay, son. The ashtray was full anyway."

I think if you clean them every time you change the springs, you'll be fine.....
