sigma cleaning

[mossbergmike]

just bought my first handgun,, a sw40ve, not only is it my first handgun but my first composite gun.. i was wondering the best way to clean and lube it as im sure its different than cleaning and lubing the m16A2 i used for so long.

Just follow the instructions in the manual (available in .pdf online if you've lost yours) and you'll be fine.

is there anything in particular that is best to use

Million answers to that question....but... Hoppes #9 for the bore, then a swab of Hoppes gun oil. The four rails your upper slides on- I use Tetra Grease applied sparingly with a Q-Tip. I usually swab the whole underside of the slide with Nitro Solvent(#9) to remove the powder residue.

Oh,yeah, a little Tetra Grease where the barrel contacts the slide. I always put a dab of Nitro Solvent on a Q-Tip and scrub the extractor using a toothpick to push the crud from behind the extractor.

If you get the urge to put bore cleaner and/or oil on the plastic action parts, DON'T.
CRC silicone spray works well in cleaning and leaving them non-sticky. Take your magazines apart and clean them with it also.
