Maintenance on accu railed guns?

[NVcharlie]

I rehomed an accu-railed 2011 limited USPSA gun with two tops, 9&40sw. Johnny at Limcat made it. I was told the .40 top has around 30k through it but the 9mm top only has 9k. Both slides are super tight.

This little firearm shoots like a dream. Does anyone have any tips for maintaining it. Im cleaning it after every session and will strip it at the end of the season. Just curious about the accu rails.

Here's a 9x23 built on a Springfield frame and Caspian slide with Acc-u-rails. As with yours, this pistol is a joy to shoot and the slide cycles as if it's running on ball bearings. I've had it for years and probably have 5,000 rounds down the tube. My experience has been that as long as you keep the rails wet with light synthetic oil it runs as slick as snot on a door knob. There is no room for grit and grime to find its way between the rails and the machined grooves in the slide.

Thanks much. I was informed by the original owner it was over 10yrs old. Its amazing how tight the gun still is.
This one is an SV frame/grip.
