Pat, I'm a long-term participant on the old 10-8 forum, so I'm familiar of what which you speak. My basic lubrication protocol is this: Medium to heavy applications of TW25B to areas of metal-on-metal bearing/reciprocation/stress (receiver rails, barrel exterior, chamber hood exterior, inside barrel bushing, slide release axle and inner barrel link, barrel lugs and slide lug cuts, and feedrail/disconnector cut. Slide rail cuts receive a lighter coat of TW25B (in effect "greasing the way" for the gross application of TW25B via the coating from the receiver rails when the slide and receiver are mated-that way, the excess is directed to the rear of the slide,instead of accumulating inside the dust cover).
A light coat/film of lubricant/anticorrosive (Weapon Shield {or currently Mil-Comm's MC2500 oil})is applied to slide, receiver, and other components during the field strip/cleaning/lubing process. A drop of lubricant is applied to the disconnector head and worked in by working the disconnector, and a drop is thrown down the front of the hammer to lubricate the hammer axle, hammer hooks and sear.
It's probably unnecessary, but immediately before a match (these days, primarily IDPA, which are usually 90-130 round 6-8 stage affairs) I'll apply a "cover coat" of Weapon Shield/MC2500 to the rails, barrel exterior and chamber hood exterior.
Prior to use, and otherwise annually (or after heavy use/dirt/sand/mud/water immersion), magazines are disassembled, brushed out with a magazine brush, and tube interiors, followers, springs and any baseplates/innerbaseplates are treated with a coat of Dri-Slide, a dry film molydisulfide anticorrosive/lubricant. Tube exteriors are wiped down with a film of lube, or Sentry Solutions Tuff Cote.
And yeah, Todd's head is probably spinning if he reads this...

Best, Jon
