CLEANING AND
MAINTENANCE
!! WARNING !!
Ensure your firearm is unloaded before beginning to clean
it. At all times follow the basic rules of safe gun handling.
Your firearm is a precision instrument and to insure reliable
function, it is necessary to follow a routine maintenance
procedure. After firing your firearm, be sure to unload it following
the procedure outlined in the section entitled “Unloading” on
page 20 before any cleaning or maintenance procedure. Your
pistol should be cleaned by brushing the barrel bore and
chamber with a good powder-removing solvent and bore brush.
Wipe the areas clean with patches or a swab. Using a small
brush dipped in solvent, remove all deposits from around the
breech of the barrel, and chamber, extractor and adjacent areas
which have been subjected to the action of powder or primer
residue. Remove any residue on the frame with light brushing
and a solvent. After cleaning the entire gun, use a cloth to apply
a light film of high quality gun oil to all external metal surfaces
and wipe clean.
Cleaning is considered essential in order to ensure the proper
functioning of your handgun.
For additional maintenance, we recommend the services of a
qualified gunsmith. Please refer to section entitled “Service”. If
your firearm will be used or stored in a cold climate, be sure to
use an oil that will not thicken at low temperatures.
