I doubt you're getting any shrinkage, but only you can attest to that. lol
I'd break it all the way down, and spray and scrub it all the way clean. A lot of times when a gun acts more sluggish in the cold it's because there's too much oil and residue on it. Happens a lot to people who just continually spray/squirt more oil on their guns throughout the year instead of really cleaning them. Oil gets gummy when it's real cold and that's not good for moving parts. I have a couple semi-autos that I run nearly dry during the real cold months. Just the tiniest touch of oil on everything except the trigger assembly. Could be something else, but I'd try that first.
