FOLLOWING THE INITIAL CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS LOCATED
IN SECTION 12.1 OF THIS MANUAL.
Various metal parts of your pistol have been coated at the factory with
corrosion inhibitors and lubricants to protect the pistol during shipping and
storage. Before using your pistol, clean the preservatives from the inside of
the barrel, slide and action/chamber areas with a quality gun oil as
explained in section 12.1. If your pistol is to be stored, it is acceptable to
leave the preservatives on the pistol and keep it in its original packaging.
Never fire the pistol upon purchase without first inspecting cleaning and
lubricating it before use. Pay special attention that all foreign material is
removed from the bore of the barrel to prevent an unsafe condition.
