How To Clean: Sig Sauer P320 Pistol 

😢😢

Like wise brother. Fatherless doesn't define us or limit us and hopefully if you have your own kids you'll pass on the stuff you learned on your own

​​@@spartan_gainz4198 I was lucky to be blessed with a father so I can't begin to understand what that's even close to being like. My sincerest condolences. My uncle offed himself with a gun so they were demonized in my home. As a result I can relate to having to resort to finding the information independently however. This man is helping so many people. I just hope one day I'll be able to teach myself enough via RU-vid and other sources to go hunting one day. It's been a dream of mine. As building and owning an edc p320 was. It's honestly sad how modern society has disconnected us from becoming truly independent. Anyway, I hope you guys enjoy the guns and may good things come your way.

Yeah, no kidding!

ClayTrader Guns gets better in time. I've ran about 300 rounds on mine and it's a lot easier now.

OMG Yes!!!!!! Pulled up my nail at the edge.

mykylc omfg YES!!!! I've been assembling and disassembling it for a few days now to try and loosen it up a bit it's a bitch

glade to see im not the only one who thought that

That's awesome! Congrats on your new kid... I mean "gun" ;-)

Craig Fuhr First gun? You're also probably new to the ammo game... www.ammospy.net, but stay away from STEEL AMMO and REMANUFACTURED AMMO! Steel isn't flexible like brass; it expands, but won't contract, so it won't properly eject from your weapon! 1000 rounds of .40S&W will normally run you approximately $250, so $12.50 for a 50 round box. What do you pay at an outdoor store? $30 for 50 rounds? Save where you can! Winchester purple box (training ammo) is $10.99/50 rounds! www.outdoorlimited.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=q4409

Same i just got my first gun and its this exact same gun sig p320 full size it was hard for me to decide between full size and the compact but went with full size and this vid helped me alot with cleaning it i only fired about 40 rounds but cleaned it anyway mainly just to learn how love this gun and im working on getting my carry permit its very easy in tn actually as of july 1st 2014 your allowed to keep it loaded in your car as long as its a legal gun and registered to you and i've been bringing it with me alot recently since my brother almost got robbed went to meet a guy to sell a ipad pro and guy grabbed it and started running my brother fired his 9mm smith and Wesson shield once up in the air he stopped running in his tracks so luckily he had it in his car or he'd of been robbed of almost a $1000 ipad. Also i have sig FMJ for range, sig hollow points for home defense, and i just got a box of blazer fmj to test out the gun because it was only $10 a box of 50 but it seemed to do ok but wasnt really trying just testing out the gun i bought a box of 100 of federal ammunition fmj to use at the gun range but will test out to see if its just as good if not better than the sig fmj. also got 1 box federal range ammo only tried the federal and blazer so far. dont want to waste alot of the sig it was $20 a box

With the 2 holes facing up and down. If buffer spring is installed properly you should only see one hole. It's counter intuitive. Seems like they want you to put it on the flat spot

@@halcyonoutlander2105 humor poking fun at gun control laws.

@@qwaynick😂now I get it

Dillon Smiley don't get nothing on the striker

Thanks for the heads up!

It absolutely does, just picked mine up today, and in the lubrication section, it says the firing mechanism must remain dry, to prevent misfire, or "soft strikes"

@Uganda Knuckles a LOT of people get soft strikes because of that

Should you use clp on the striker then dry it or just never touch it at all? Or should I just wipe the striker with a dry towel?

@@williamphillip9749 The latter.

Way to much oil... People nvr realize that less is best..

I use Balistol...I soak the barrel good...clean inside and out. The upper and lower get brushing with a clean and dry tooth brush to clean and use just a bit of Balistol on the parts which interact with the upper and lower (very little)...spraying and soaking the slide and lower only attracts powder and grime. a dry slick gun functions much better than a wet oiled gun. If you're familiar with cast iron skillets and how to clean, it's the same concept. Oil residue attracts dirt and makes gun cleaning more difficult. Although, It's your gun...do what you want...just my two cents...

@@iAmNyC718 100% correct. slide rails, a drop or 2 on the barrel locking lug, a drop on the barrel hood. never any in the striker channel.. Been doing this for years and it has worked for me.

Cool, I'll have to give that a try. Thanks for the insight.

+ClayTrader Guns Yeah, remember to always take the chassis out and wipe all of the black gunk that'll pile up on it. Yes, it's a Sig, and it'll fire even if it's dirty, but you should take care of it the best you can :-)

Yes, CLP. Stands for "cleaning, lubricant, protectant". Some say it's not as good as separate cleaner and oil, but many people use it as a do it all. He was using CLP.

I found that the manual for the P320 calls for "CLP". But since CLP is kind of a generic term, maybe you can use the separate solvent and oil. I read somewhere else that modern ammo burns much cleaner than some of the older stuff. Maybe you don't need so much solvent anymore?

@@azcharlie2009 I think either option is safe to use. I kind of mix it up. When U use CLP I choose one called Frog Lube.

Tom Strickland, the only amazing was the newspaper. He drenched it Sig in oil which is a major no no.

Swing back and let me know your thoughts on it after you put some rounds through it.

Chad Hough www.ammospy.net is the best ammo search engine! Steel doesn't bend like brass does; it poofy after being shot, but it stays poofed and doesn't shrink again like brass! Don't buy cheap steel shit because you WILL have constant failures; it won't extract! I personally don't take the chance on shooting remanufactured ammo... If the person didn't set the primer correctly, then the round is going to blowup in your gun. Was saving $50 on ammo worth ruining a $500 gun? Don't take the chance... Just order some Blazer Brass or Winchester white box for $180!

You're welcome!

Tim Askey Get another dog.

Tim Askey did you get your dog back?

clean it in the bathtub like a normal person.

Probably the best cleaning video ever. I use the same method and never had a failure because of lack of cleaning.🤛🏻👍🏻👍🏻

BDurant, you must be kidding. He broke the cardinal rule over lubricating. He even gave the firing pin assembly a good soaking. Trouble down the road for that beautiful Sig.

Rob, the spring really doesnt get too dirty so I dont clean it every time. However a quick wipe down with a damp patch should be all it needs.

Jason Asunto yep, but it will come thru facing you which means when exiting the barrel, the force of the brush coming out sprays the oil and junk on you.

I’m a new gun owner and I want to as responsible as possible

It is

That's all personal preference, I find that they are about the same in terms of maintenance needs, but never had an issue with either.

never use WD40 to clean a gun it will rust .. don’t listen to this guy

@@alvinkada317 I never said that’s all I use. I use other things as well.

Interesting. It shouldnt take that long. I recommend "Hickock 45" watch his cleaning methods. I now use Ballistal as he uses. Hes very knowledgeable . I too only grease metal to metal parts. Around the firing pin and places you dont want dirt to collect for 20 years I have used alcohol on q-tips. Alcohol dries fast where solvents dont. Hickock45 is A Glock shooter and likes Sigs as well. Hope I may have helped. You may already know all I mentioned above. I would like to have helped you save time cleaning.

chandler wortham yeah near the striker lol

brentfoto, first, pull the slide back into battery and lock it. Next, pull the release lever down to the 6 o'clock position. Next, hold on to the slide with your right hand (you don't want the slide to go flying off), and gently release the slide lock, moving the slide forward while still holding onto it. reverse the procedure when ready to re-assemble.

Thank you Bonnie.

That's a good suggestion. Thanks!

82 Luft yup

I was thinking the same thing.

That's true. But I'm not a huge fan of "deep cleans". The guns are built to "work hard" and shoot.

ClayTrader Guns Better safe than sorry... Rotate the takedown lever, shit... Just watch other videos on how to properly remove it. You just need to take a dry tooth brush to clean off the fire control unit, and then you apply very little lube to the moving parts. It's not rocket science, but you need to take care of it every once and a while...

I'll give a try, thanks.
