Thanks, you have made this simple and doable for me as a first time owner.

[@Happ465]

Outstanding! I just bought my first gun, a 365.

[@austinmcdermott8500]

How is it? just got mine and going shoting for the first time. Seems like some have had a jamming problem but they fixed that.

[@Happ465]

Austin Mcdermott Its great! The problem was solved by August 2018. I shoot a box a week and not one problem. I would suggest you do a quick cleaning before you go out. They test fire the guns prior to shipping. so it maybe a tad dirty. I put a Lima Lazer on it. Great addition. Looks cool as well.

[@austinmcdermott8500]

@@Happ465 Awesome. I loved the look, trigger, sight and capacity. I cleaned it already and will probably get that lazer after 500 rounds.

[@Happ465]

Austin Mcdermott just foumnd out Sig is declaring Bankruptcy. and closing their plant in Germany! The US plant is remaining open. So they are just reorganizing.

[@claybones1]

You will love it. Sig makes the best guns in my opinion, then Springfield. I like Glocks but imo they are very overrated m

[@thesmurfshow3201]

It's crazy I never knew how to break down a gun and clean a gun I always pay someone to clean it for me watching this video talk me a lot thanks to this man now I know how to break a gun down and clean a gun and I'm 36 years old took me all these years to figure it out thank you sir 🙏🏾👌🙏🏾

[@ghostoftheemishi8445]

This is truly the wonderful thing and power of the internet. So much wisdom years of knowledge you can learn in an hour of studying just look it up . You can truly learn anything in the world and one should it’s all I do I don’t even watch movies any more just ask questions. What if I do this to much can I starve an make muscle what If to much oil is on my gun what kinda bullets is best workout for gun handling etc it’s just brilliant you could literally know nothing and in 30 minutes or less doing medical procedures lmao study is the greatness of life .

[@Brad-ic4bp]

I just cleaned mine for the first time, but was having trouble getting the slide lever getting back to horizontal position when I re-installed the slide onto the frame. Your tip of pushing up on the slide release to allow the slide lock lever to rotate worked. Thanks.

[@Tincan53]

An additional step that we are now doing on our P365s, is periodically removing the striker pin for cleaning it and it’s bore. I hope this will stop the like strikers we have been experiencing since we purchased the guns. Headed to the range this next week for testing and will be testing both P365s for like strikes using 6 different manufacturers of ammo. If they continue with the light strikes, these suckers are headed back to Sig.

[@fonz1116]

How can you tell

[@fwbenson57]

Define “light strike” please

[@skiddy2974]

Best cleaning video I’ve seen

[@marcozampieri2797]

Way too much oil for a modern firearm... But that is just my opinion.

[@jgarcia9011]

Too much oil means more dirt buildup

[@ken_tx]

Yeah. Just put a couple drops on a qtip and run it across all the contact points.

[@trippmiller8293]

Than make your own video you ass hat

[@undermoonlightglow]

Very well done video. The Sig P356 is a great fire arm.

[@timothyewing9755]

thank you so much this was really helpful

[@richardsmith4187]

I use the 2" cotton patches for the bore, but I use T-shirts to wipe all the debris off the gun parts. Instead of using your good T-shirts, I go to a salvation army thrift store and purchase large T-shirts for about 1.00 each and buy a dozen at a times and this way you can just throw them away and it saves using your bore patches.

[@4u25out]

Richard Smith go to neighborhood garage sale, ...but I have 10+ bags of my son’s old t-shirt,it should last a lifetime.😄

[@richardsmith4187]

@@4u25out Good deal !! Your set

[@Brad-ic4bp]

Same here - I go through plain white undershirts quickly, so I always have a bag-full of clean, white lint-free rags for gun cleaning.

[@angelawade1445]

I really liked this video. I have not got my own gun yet but like the feel of this in my hand at store. Have not learned all the parts yet either. When you are sliding back and forth at the end to distribute the oil on the rails are you pushing the lever on the side to facilitate the slide.

[@dickwhiskey8041]

Very helpful and easy to follow.

[@johnmckeon3468]

Thanks for the video. Very helpful.

[@brennasaxton7749]

definitely make sure you don't get any oil in the striker channel in the back of the slide.

[@br2266]

Thank YOU

[@johnmckinney9759]

Recently bought a new P365. Have put a couple of hundred rounds through it. Trying to trouble shoot 2 issues, both potential with the slide lock/slide release mechanism. 1) a few times while wife is shooting, the slide would not fully close, would stop with about a quarter inch of rear slide hanging over grip. Have to manually close to continue. 2) During cleaning, (reference 19:40 min:sec of your cleaning video) when assembling slide to the frame with frame release down 90 deg, and pulling slide back fully and release, the slide release stays in the down 90 deg position, and slide goes forward past fully close, sometimes completely off frame. Instead, I have to pull slide back partially, instead just enough to use slide lock to return slide release, then release slide for it to stop in the proper closed position. Any ideas what's causing this? Taking it back to the range where I bought it and have gun smith check it out. I contacted Sig and they were slow to get back to me and now have to call again to get them on the phone.

[@christianjoos7011]

Dude. I bet your bathroom is immaculate! Lol,; great Vid, Gun is Life!

[@wickalemonz7090]

Lmao

[@AlphaMachina]

So, I did this on my P365 XL 9mm, but the breakdown toggle won't pop back up when I rack the slide back, so I can't get my upper back on. Edit: Nevermind, got it. The slide has to be pulled all the way back, held, and then the slide release has to be pushed up to allow the breakdown lever to snap back up. Also, the spring on the XL is the same size all the way across, single spring. The trigger is also straight.

[@shantianita3282]

My frustrating problem. Can we get a video on this.

[@Steve-qn1lj]

Please do a video on this.

[@foreignsmoke2062]

Thank you!!!!!!

[@thejaxattack]

19:49 my guns little lever (the far left one) is not returning flat, how do i fix that?

[@shawncundiff4463]

Slide release not clicking back to position

[@iamLeLe]

Same way with a manual safety to take down????

[@GearKnowHow]

Yep

[@paulbaker2546]

Awesome very informative video. Thank you

[@juliefelsenthal8461]

Great video

[@joeyclaud2360]

After cleaning and putting them back together I noticed that when I rack the slide back, the slide release do not retract automatically and had to do it manually is that normal.

[@GearKnowHow]

Not normal. Try putting it together again and make sure nothing is sticking up on the frame when you slide on the slide.

[@charlestermini179]

Nice cleaning video, but I do have a question? It appears that you left oil in the bore after assembly? Per the owners manual: 9. Lightly oil bore and chamber if the pistol is to be stored for a period of time. 10. Always remove any lubricant from the bore prior to firing the pistol . So, am I missing something?

[@GearKnowHow]

A little bit leftover is fine, it’ll burn off fast or evaporate before you even hit the range.

[@PHICEN]

Link for your firing pin removal video please.

[@Steve-qn1lj]

Can you put a piece of tape over the firing channel pin hole for extra precaution against oil getting into it?

[@AB-tf9ws]

I have a question, so i just bought a brand new sig sauer m17 and started using gunzilla clp on it, is clp fine and safe for polymer? Is it going to dissolve the polymer or any plastic parts in the gun? Cause you know the clp will drop on the frame from the slide

[@BigHatBoris]

Awesome in-depth cleaning and reassembly, thank you! What were you doing at the very end btw? It looked like you racked the slide with the trigger pulled and then released it?

[@4u25out]

Do I need Hoppe’s solvent to clean the bore,? or just a CLP oil for all the cleaning/lube,TIA.

[@Sovek86]

I might need it to remove some copper fouling along the grooves in mine, but its been through about 1K rounds so theres that.

[@shantianita3282]

I can't get the take down lever back up to complete this process. Can you a video on this process?

[@GearKnowHow]

Yeah it can be tricky, I might do a quick disassembly/reassembly video for the channel

[@Steve-qn1lj]

@@GearKnowHow Please do a video on this. My take down lever does not pop back into place automatically. Thanks.

[@WanderingBobAK]

Is the mag still out? Also push up on the slide lock and that should work. Cycle it up and down. Repeat, removal and reinstall a few times. It'll go much easier. Make sure that mag is not in the gun.

[@craiglaw7578]

Check out Sig Guy, he covers this problem.

[@darthjesus7959]

Yeah thanks for mentioning you shouldn’t get any bro cleaner inside where the firing pin is you just said spray it all on there and then halfway they the video once that shits already in there then you mention that’s a bad idea

[@videogazer801]

For cleaning, I’ve been using liquid dishwasher soap followed by water rinse and it works best. Then, I apply gun oil after afterward.

[@rogerborgmeier6159]

I was taught to grease the slide channels, not to use oil there.

[@spellcasther7099]

i just drop mine in the sink, dry it all good. easy.

[@WanderingBobAK]

I hope no one follows this advice. Not funny.

[@blzrbob]

Greetings, Just received my P365. Took it apart to clean & inspect it. I'm running into a issue when replacing the slide. The release stays at 6' o clock? Thinking the spring wasn't in tightly I kept trying with no success ! Any ideas? Thanks...

[@craiglaw7578]

As you re-install your slide..when it’s in the rearward position push up on the slide release…the take down lever should return to the 3:00 o’clock position. Sig Guy on KZbin answers this question better.

[@blzrbob]

BINGO! Seems that the slide release is lame..

[@cathybloniarz2300]

For a first time gun owner/cleaner, you went a little fast and I'm still a little confused. Will probably try to find a video that goes a little more understandable.

[@albertosbrolla8424]

[@darthjesus7959]

Yeah this was no help I can’t get it back together

[@darthjesus7959]

Watched the end of mrgunsandgears video and it solved it

[@yellowchartreuse]

Someone should count how many times he says "kind of" for no reason.

[@eskwadrat]

Interesting how all these tutorials miss details and go too fast through the most difficult part of disassembly and assembly. The P364 is most painful gun to do that, it's so ridiculous. Unlike much larger P226 which you can dismantle in a breeze.

[@BlakeMunson]

There is no S on the end of the word "Anyway".

[@T_210]

This addresses cleaning only half the weapon. The fire control unit and striker assembly need to come out- that's where all the work gets done. Want your SIG to last- take the extra 5-10 minutes and do the entire gun.

[@chriscar98]

“Just a little bit of oil”

[@josephbrown7191]

3 commercials. Quite lengthy

[@maxkeller4482]

Way way to much oil. U do not want to do alota things u did only scrub with firing pin pointed down so nothing gets in there u don't want oil down in trigger mechanism . Not ho collects so much more dirt only need oil on the slide rails feed rail barrel few other spots
