I've said this on another thread. But, My CZ 75B was very finicky for about the first 1,000 rounds. It wouldn't feed Speer Gold Dot at all. I had occasional FTEs of various other factory loads.
But, I have not had ANY malfunctions in a while now. I use this pistol for IPSC Production Division competition. Its dusty, sandy, or muddy, sometimes in the same match. My CZ is a tack driver. It beats the pants off my XDM 9, much to my dissapointment!
A few people I've talked to recently swear by putting "grease on the slide rails. This seems to me one possible way of getting excess grease to gunk up the extractor. I've never put grease on the rails of an auto pistol.
I've always just rubbed a light coat of machine oil on the mating surfaces and a drop or 2 in the usual spots for springs, then wipe everything down with a well seasoned gun cloth.
I've got a '64 Army National Match 1911 thats been cared for this way for 45 years now. Its still a very tight little pistol.
