ok i have another problem, because of the situation over here i have to carry my pistol concealed and it must be out of sight , so i carry it under arm.
problem is its warm and i sweat a lot , now i grease it every night but still it doesnt seem to hold for the whole day.i have been considering wiping a thin layer of silicone over the area that gets affected wich is mainly on the top away from any moving parts , is that a good idea ? or does anybody have a better plan :D

Automotive paste wax. Put a light coat on, let dry, buff. Works for me.

If you make it slick enough to prevent rust, you'll probably drop it if you ever have to draw.
Do your best to keep it clean, and wipe it down every night. Just accept the fact that it's gonna rust. My daily CCW has rust along the inner grip from rubbing on my hip. It's one of the prices of CCW, especially if it's not a polymer pistol.

I'd say wipe it down, keep it clean, get rid of rust at the first sight since it spreads like cancer, and accept that you will likely get some rust.
IMO your carry gun should not be your pride and joy, it should be something you are willing to get holster wear, dinged, etc.

One of the best things I've ever used is Eezox. It goes on wet, use it to clean the slide/frame, then the carrier evaporates leaving a dry film lube that is an excellent protectant as well as lube. Give it a try.
