12.2 CLEANING AND LUBRICATION AFTER FIRING
CAUTION: WEAR EYE PROTECTION AND PRACTICE SAFETY
MEASURES APPROPRIATE FOR THE CHEMICALS BEING
USED WHEN WORKING WITH SOLVENTS TO AVOID SERIOUS
INJURY. MANY SOLVENTS ARE HIGHLY FLAMMABLE.
1. Completely unload the pistol as described in Section 6.3.
2. Disassemble the pistol as described in Section 11.1.
3. With a cleaning brush or a spray, apply solvent inside the barrel and
allow the product to penetrate for a few minutes.
NOTE: Follow the instructions provided with the cleaning solvent if it differs
from these instructions. Keep solvents away from the polymer components of
this pistol.
4. With a correctly sized cleaning rod, brush, jag and patches, remove the
solvent and fouling from the inside of the barrel until patches come out
clean.
NOTE: Be careful not to scratch or damage the muzzle as this can affect
accuracy. It is recommended to only clean the barrel from the chamber end.
5. When the barrel is clean, use a cleaning rod and patch moistened with
preservative oil and wipe the inside of the barrel to protect the barrel
until the next use.
NOTE: Always remove the oil from the inside of the barrel before shooting as
detailed in Section 12.1.
6. Use a brush and solvent or multipurpose gun-cleaning lubricant to
remove carbon deposits and other fouling from the slide, barrel,
extractor and other areas that accumulate residue from firing.
7. Use a soft cloth or a rag, and multipurpose lubricant if necessary, to
remove debris from the magazine well of the frame.
