Owner’s Manual 2009

44
Before each shooting sequence, ALWAYS check the barrel for
obstructions and ensure that it is dry and clean.
Completely unload the pistol, ensure that there is no round in the
chamber of the pistol and then glance down the barrel in order to
ensure that it is free of any obstruction.
Take into account that the smallest obstruction can dangerously
increase pressures.
5.4.1. Cleaning and lubrication before firing
The following procedure assumes that the pistol has correctly been cleaned and
lubricated the last time it was used (also refer to § 5.4.2).
❖
Disassemble the pistol as described in § 5.1.
❖
Using a cleaning rod and
cleaning patches and
working back and forth,
remove any lubricant from
the bore and the chamber
of the barrel until the last
cleaning patch is clean.
Be careful not to scratch or damage the muzzle as this can affect
accuracy : it is recommended to clean from the chamber end.
❖
Ensure that the inside of the barrel is perfectly dry.
❖
Reassemble the pistol.
