SIGARMS SIGPRO OM 6/6/01 3:33 PM Page 14 Maintenance 5. Follow the slide 4 forwards with your hand until the recoil spring 3 is released. Recoil spring 3 is compressed. Uncontrolled removal of recoil spring guide 2 can cause it and the spring to jump away. When stripping, control decompression of the preloaded recoil spring 3 with your hand. Procedure 7.
SIGARMS SIGPRO OM 6/6/01 3:33 PM Page 15 Maintenance 8. Remove barrel 1 from slide 4 (Fig. 12). Fig. 12 Fig. 13 Do not remove the grip plate 45 (work step 9) unless the weapon is extremely dirty (water, sand, mud etc.) This level of stripping is sufficient to allow a thorough cleaning after shooting. Further dismantling of the pistol may only be carried out by qualified armourers and gunsmiths. 9. Press the retaining lug 45a in the well and remove the grip plate 45 (Fig. 13).
SIGARMS SIGPRO OM 6/6/01 3:33 PM Page 16 Maintenance 7.2 Cleaning the pistol Procedure 1. Lubricate the cleaning brush with gun oil and insert it into barrel 1 via the chamber. Use brush to carefully remove all powder residues and dirt in the barrel 1 and chamber. Never clean barrel 1 from the muzzle end and do not use steel wire brush as it can destroy the smooth surface of the bore. Use a suitable cleaning rod and brush of matching calibre (see Sect. 12).
