| I noticed today when I took my stainless TRP apart that it is catching now......a lot. It used to just slide right off but now I have to use all my might just to get it off, and then get it back on. I didnt notice any burrs or anything else. It does'nt effect the function at all, just the takedown and reassembly. Guess my question is, is it going to get worse? |

Do you keep it lubed? Stainless needs more than carbon steel. Galling isn't that common anymore. Manufacturers learned to
have the frame and slide stainless alloys be a little different to prevent galling. I still have an old AMT hardballer. Haven't shot it in a long time. Frame and slide are the same alloy. Galled constantly. FTF, FTE, stovepipe, etc. Couldn't find the right lube to keep it happy. Of course AMT is long gone. |
| AMT recommended GunSlick graphite grease on the slide rails. GunSlick I use it on all of my stainless auto pistols and haven't had a problem. |
