I'm a heavy luber, and have been ever since I had a failure due to lack of lubrication. I've never had a failure since, despite extended sessions with "dirty" ammo...And it was those same extended sessions that caused by earlier failure due to a light lube job. I know of another individual who lubes heavily, and due to the job he held at the time was responsible for the maintenance of training weapons and never had an "over-lubed" failure through several million rounds fired by his students.
It's an interesting theory, but I've yet to see anybody prove that it's real, much less a significant issue.
I'd think if you had one fail to being under lubed, you probably are not a heavy lubber, just doing it well. When I was taking the CHL test, a gentleman with the group had so much oil(?) in his pistol they had to stop and wipe it down so he could finish the range portion. Until my CHL test I did not know it was actually possible. I also bet you are using the correct type of lube as well.
Don’t worry some day you'll be at a range and see some one oiling his pistol because it keeps jamming, then you realize what I mean!
Just wait until you see them "baptize" it in WD-40
I seen a man do that about a month or so back.
