My process is simple for anything other than my .22's, and for thousands and thousands of rounds in my non-.22 pistols, never had a hiccup.
1. Remove slide from frame.
2. Remove barrel/spring assembly from slide.
3. Run bore snake through barrel.
4. Use about 10-15 q-tips dipped in frog lube paste to clean all the crap where they can reach. (you do have to tweezer out fibers very occasionally)
5. Apply very small amounts of frog lube paste to slide action.
6. Blowdry until froglube melts.
7. Put it back together and cycle the slide 9-10x.
I've never run anything "hard", but have done 250-300 rounds in a session many many times with no problem using this method.
The only thing I'm doing differently soon is running the bore snake at the range (keeping a collection of them in my range bag)
Interesting on the frog lube, how has it handled cold weather shooting or prolonged storage then shooting? Not meant as a knock on your choices but after reading all the bad in the last couple years I was intrigued.
