Manual

IMPORTANT: Do these checks only after you strip and
assemble the pistol. Do not slam the slide forward at any
other time, except when loading. If you exercise the
slide, control it with your hand.
WHEN TO CLEAN
You should clean your pistol as soon after firing as
possible so that the job will be easier and there will be
less opportunity for corrosion to start. When your pistol
has not been fired, clean it periodically; we suggest once
or twice a year in a temperate climate, or as often as
once a month in a tropical climate. If you carry a loaded
pistol, UNLOAD it and clean it at least once a month. If
you get your pistol wet, clean it as soon as possible.
HOW TO CLEAN AND LUBRICATE
The following cleaning procedure may be used both
periodically and after firing; however, those items
marked “*” are unnecessary for periodic cleaning.
Materials: Cleaning rod, cotton flannel patches (cut to fit
snugly into the bore) a small toothbrush, good quality
light gun oil, *gun cleaning solution, and *a brass wire
bristle bore cleaning brush.
NOTE: In freezing conditions (below 32F or 0C) avoid the
use of oil for lubrication; instead apply dry lubricant
sparingly.
