6.1. Cleaning and lubrication before firing
The following procedure assumes that the pistol has correctly been cleaned and
lubricated the last time it has been used (also refer to Section 6.2).
u Disassemble the pistol as shown in Section 5.1.
v Using a cleaning rod and patches, working them back and
forth, remove the storage lubricant from the inside of the barrel,
until the patches come out clean.
Be careful not to scratch or damage the muzzle as this can affect
accuracy. It is recommended to clean the barrel from the chamber end.
w Remove the storage lubricant from the outside of the barrel and
then from the slide, the return spring and the frame.
x Lightly lubricate the outside of the barrel with
functional lubricant.
y Reassemble the slide, the barrel and the return spring.
z Lightly lubricate all the moving surfaces with
functional lubricant.
{ Reassemble the pistol.
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 CARTRIDGE
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.
