Well if you're using MAPP gas in 28 degrees, then yeah it's probably gonna break stuff.
Use propane instead of green gas, because green gas is retarded.
GREASE the slide, don't use silicone.
And you only actually need to lubricate the gas system every 500 shots or so. You don't need to add silicone to the mags every single time you use the pistol.
Had my USP compact for 3 years, and I think I only ever added a drop of silicone to the mags maybe 3 or 4 times. Has zero problems with the O-rings.

If your silicone has petroleum in it (the stuff that eats natural rubber), you'll find out when it eats the shitty natural rubber seals in your pistol. Order new, way better buna nitrile Orings, and problem solved.

Or just go to Canadian tire and buy 100% silicone oil in a spray can for like $7.
