Steel semi-automatic pistols of the John Moses Browning lineage work well with lots of oil. The expression, 'the wetter the better' applies. The powder gases for a sort of Teflon carbon layer on the bearing surfaces, and there is less steel on steel contact. Oil the rails and the slide surfaces, them wipe down the leaks and drips. Brush out the powder particles in the bore, and keep going. But ... I have had the pleasure of cleaning target rifle barrels down to the steel between matches because they would go off zero otherwise.
