I think they always recommend pulling the patch through the same way the bullet goes out the barrel rather than pulling into the barrel and out the feed ramp end. Which makes sense. Always clean by pulling out the bore the same way a bullet comes out, don’t wanna pull what you cleaned back into your barrel when cleaning. I know your way probably works fine just something I noticed Sig recommends.

Beautiful gun, but if i would choose a SIG-Sauer pistol i would choose the P226, i still prefer the classics.
@TheGreatDrAsian Жыл бұрын
The P226 is a masterpiece but it's large metal frame makes it harder to conceal. The P365 is the ultimate conceal carry firearm. Small, high capacity, reliable, good value. While it's 100% possible to conceal a P226, the P365 is simply more comfortable, which gives it it's namesake of being able to be carried every single day of the year. Can confirm, I've had mine for a full year now and worn it every single day. It's so small and light sometimes I forget I even have it on me.

I've always found oils like CLP to be insufficient on frame rails and the locking surfaces of the barrel/slide. It tends to run off or evaporate, leaving them bare after a period of time. A good light gun grease lasts longer and is better at reducing wear, particularly on alloy frames like on a Sig P226 or Beretta 92. I've used Slip 2000 EWG, Mil-comm TW25B, and Shooters Choice grease over the years on all my pistols with good results.

I took my mags apart after the very first shooting and brand new there was already a light surface rust inside the mag bodies. So I used a light application of REM Oil to clean and protect the mag. The Sig mags are very difficult to load when new and I figured dry and rusty didn’t help. I realize that many people don’t want any oil inside the mag body. However, they really are very easy to re-clean.

I think the recommendation with clp inside mag is due to surface rust which can build up on the blued steel. I’ve had a few instances were I’ve cleaned my magazine and the cloth has the burnt orange look after pulling it through mag body. Not only with sig but also walther mags.

I own a couple of Sig pistols, Sig quality is, now, not what it was. Maybe it's the customer service that's gone to crap. All manufacturers can have issues with certain models, owning up to that has slipped away from Sig. You may not have had a negative experience with them, but it's a long way from being uncommon these days. A fairly high profile customer such as yourself will get superlative service, bad marketing not to do so. I agree with your "no wet lube" in the magazine. Wet lube will attract dirt, whatever, so sure, let's make the inside gummy with dust and debris.

Nice video. Love watching these and everybody has their own way. I'd use more than a nylon brush to clean the slide and would use a brass brush for cleaning the first few times personally. Then switch to nylon brush for bore. Guns are pretty tough though, and Sigs for sure. Prob wipe it off and spray some RemOil in there and thats all you'd need practically for a long time unless in military.

CLP might be OK if you use your gun regularly but if you store it, especially a revolver, it sticks and sometimes it's very difficult to release the cylinder, etc. As for Sig, I don't trust them at all anymore. Quality is shot; just like the lever not working properly and if one didn't know to push up on the slide lock for it to work you'd be stuck. Also when reassembling there is a latch that sometimes sticks up and you have to push it down to rack the slide back. Still, the 365 is worth having as long as you know how to correct the flaws.
