17.2. CLEANING AND LUBRICATION
1. Completely unload the pistol as described in Section 16.1.
2. Disassemble the pistol as described in Section 17.1.
3. Using a cleaning brush or spray, apply solvent inside the barrel and
allow it to penetrate.
4. Using the correct size cleaning rod, jag and patches, work them back
and forth to remove the solvent from the inside of the barrel until
patches come out clean.
Notice! 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, again use a cleaning rod and patch, this
time moistened with storage lubricant, to protect the inside of the
barrel until the next use. Remember to wipe the inside of the barrel dry
before shooting as detailed in Section 17.1.
6. Use a brush and solvent to remove carbon and deposits from the slide,
chamber, extractor and areas that attract powder and primer residue.
7. Use a soft cloth or a rag, and solvent if necessary, to remove dirt from
the magazine housing of the frame.
MOST SOLVENTS ARE HIGHLY FLAMMABLE. WEAR EYE
PROTECTION AND PRACTICE APPROPRIATE SAFETY
MEASURES WHEN WORKING WITH SOLVENTS TO AVOID
SERIOUS INJURY.
