How to Clean a Beretta Pistol
- 1). Remove the magazine and double check that the gun is unloaded.
- 2). Press the disassembly latch lease. Rotate it counter-clockwise until it stops.
- 3). Pull the slide assembly forward.
- 4). Press the recoil spring assembly forward. Lift it out.
- 5). Remove the barrel from the slide.
- 6). Apply solvent to the brush and use it to scrub the inside of the barrel. Take the ramrod and thread a flannel rag through the end to clean the barrel.
- 7). Apply a little oil to a fresh rag. Use it to lightly oil the inside of the barrel with the ramrod. Use a second lightly oiled rag to oil all other exposed metal parts, such as the slide and barrel.
- 8). Spray a little gun oil on the recoil spring.
