4.4 Lubrication
After cleaning the entire pistol, use a cloth to apply a light film of high quality gun
lubricant to all external metal surfaces and wipe clean.
Do not over-lubricate the pistol to the extent where lubricant will be dripping or
running down the handgun. Excess lubricant can attract dirt, unburned powder and
carbon residue, which can interfere with proper functioning of the pistol.
• Barrel:
Use a cloth to apply a light film of high quality gun lubricant to all external surfaces
and the ramp where the locking block cams the barrel.
• Frame:
A light coat of high quality gun lubricant should be applied to the mechanism.
Put only one drop of lubricant on the slide guides, and on the trigger bar.
P99 DAO: Put a drop of lubricant on the lever next to the sear housing assembly.
• Slide:
Put only one drop of lubricant on the striker and on the safety plunger.
P 99 DAO: Put a drop of lubricant on the drop safety.
• Magazine:
Apply a light film of high quality gun lubricant to all external metal surfaces.
4.5 Maintenance before Storing
Obey all laws and regulations relating to the storage of firearms. You must familiarize
yourself with all local, state, and federal laws regarding the safe storage of firearms
and ammunition.
When storing the pistol, do not encase the firearm in anything that will attract or hold
moisture, such as leather or heavy cloth.
If the firearm is to be stored for an extended period, the bore, chamber and internal
working mechanism should be lubricated with a high quality lubricant or preservative
intended for firearms.
The external working mechanisms, slide, barrel, and magazine should be coated with
anti-corrosion lubrication.
Before using the pistol again, be sure to clean it. Every time you clean the firearm,
check it for signs of wear. If wear is noted, do not use the firearm. Return it to
WALTHER for service or have it checked by a qualified gunsmith.
