Using cleaning brushes or a spray, apply solvent inside the

barrel (bore and chamber) and let the product work a few

cleaning patches and

working back and forth,

remove the solvent and

the residues from the bore

and the chamber of the

barrel until the last

cleaning patch is clean.

protect the inside of the barrel until the next use.

shooting (also refer to § 5.4.1).

Using cleaning brushes and solvent, remove any carbon and

other deposits from the areas of the pistol attracting powder
