One combination that I've found to work very well in mitigating slide damage with a steel chamber is the use of a Freedom Art rail with comp set. On my Capa 4.3, the slide shows next to no wear at all after well over 1500 cycles. I'm using a Shooters Design slide and outer barrel, and a Guarder 5.1 recoil spring. The comp part of the rail holds the inner barrel in place, so the outer barrel and chamber are practically free floating - there's very little friction and momentum for the slide to overcome when returning to battery.
