I intend to disprove (or prove) the truth of this myth to myself as it pertains to my methods of firearm use, care and needs.
A little background... I worked at a gun shop for close to a year. I carried my 1911 at work 95% of that time and the other 5% made me real uneasy carrying 'some other gun'.
I have become a fan of using gun grease, namely Tetra, for all my 1911 lubrication. It's never failed me. Right now I've decided to throw it in the deep freeze. In a week, maybe two, I'll toss it into a cooler and go to the range to check functon with it frozen.
Typically I grease the slide rails, barrel exterior and lugs heavily. All the guts (sear, disconnector, trigger, etc...) get a light coating.
I'll see if I can post some pics.
