How To Clean & Lubricate A Sig Sauer P365 Pistol (4K)

[@DaveZaniboni]

One step I would add is, after you release the magazine, visually inspect the barrel and the magazine well before proceeding.

[@joeandrade4711]

Agreed. Always check if the barrel is empty for a proper safety check.

[@johnneubauer9568]

I'm 76 years old and have been cleaning guns since in was a small child. At the end of the day, I was never allowed to put a deer rifle or any other gun away without cleaning it. Now back to you, - If you ever run out, I will happily send you a spare quart of lube to hang on to! Nice video for new gun owners. Stay Safe.

[@AdventuresofmalibuandDad]

Great video. I love my 365 pistol. I carry it everyday. 34 years in law enforcement and I trust my life to this pistol.

Thank you! It’s my first gun. Also my first cleaning! Your step by step process has really boosted my confidence! Accurately- my gun is cleaned and functional! Thanks. 09-May -2019

Finally easy to follow instructions on how to clean a siq 365 pistol. Some videos out there look like you need to be a surgeon and have all this equipment to clean one little gun. Not to mention a lot of different cleaning agents. You did it with one cleaning agent and a tee shirt My complements.

[@joebenedetto6166]

My mid April 2018 build/purchase has over 11,500 rounds through it. I have put rounds from 6 or 7 brands and grains. 10,000 Brass & 1500 Aluminum. JHP (600-700), the rest was FMJ. The gun has run everything I put in it with ZERO PROBLEMS. Little SIGGY is one tough gun. 🙂 🇺🇸

thanks for the report

[@richardsmith4187]

Great video ! As a retired Law enforcement officer I went from revolvers to semi automatic's and always take my time on cleaning and lubrication. Never had a problem in 35 years, Like I was always taught if you take care of your gun it will take care of you. I recently purchased the P365 and it is great. Keep up the great videos

Got about 700 rounds through my p365 I've had for several weeks, and I'm carrying it. January 2019 mfg date. 0 malfunctions. Primer drag is equal to my glock 43. Just sold the 43. Never did like it. First Sig to own. Not a Sig fan at all, but I like this gun. Accurate and easy to shoot

[@sheriek4484]

Hi - thanks for posting - this is helpful. The manual and the SIGtalk forum advise against not lubricating the striker assy: "Do not lubricate the striker assembly or allow lubricant to flow into the striker. A FAILURE TO FIRE MAY RESULT DUE TO A LIGHT STRIKE TO THE CARTRIDGE". I use a tiny amount of CLR on a Q-tip to clean but try to not deposit lube here. For what its worth...

[@royburkettjr7170]

It is very helpful if you use a bore brush to break up the carbon build up in the rifling of the barrel then use the cloth swabs to get the rest of the gunk out. You get a cleaner bore.

[@jsharp7103]

I like to use the new bore snakes, it's easier and does both at once.

You taught me how to clean and lubricate the P365 when I first got it 3 months ago ! Thank you so much for valued information also on the Tipton polymer tools , I use them for all my equipment now .

[@Shorty_Lickens]

I put a little over 400 rounds through my sig during an all day training session. hot, dry, dust everywhere, we kicked it up just walking around the range. got the gun home and saw there was shockingly little debris inside. Cleanup was almost too easy. I don't know if they just designed these things really well, or I happened to have some especially clean ammo. In any case, the takedown lever was easy to use and I guess Sig Sauer is learning from the past and making their firearms a little better each year. And apparently its much like a Glock in that it needs very little cleaning to keep running for thousands of rounds, or so geeks on the internet keep telling me.

[@nhattang1594]

First time gun owner. I have a p365x 12 rds. I've only put around 200 rounds in 3 range visits. I'm starting to group more at 10-15 yards. I've shot a few other handguns including S&W 9mm, and Kimber Micro 9 Stainless. Never had shot a gun before and no prior training. Personally this is the perfect EDC for any first time gun owner. Very comfortable to conceal, I'm currently appendix carrying. It's light and the recoil is manageable. 10/10.

[@captain1441]

Thanks for the informative video. I have multiple guns, but it’s always nice to watch someone else coach you through the first time cleaning a new gun.

[@SAR0311]

You forget to mention sometimes you have to push that little lever back down near the rear of the frame to get the slide all the way back on when putting it back on the frame.

[@44124gat]

Mrgunsngear didn't mention the "little lever" (which is called the "safety lever" on P365 schematics) because he never pulled the trigger with the slide removed, and so the little lever never popped up. If he had, the lever would have popped up and the slide wouldn't go all the way on until the little lever was pushed back down. The safety lever is the little hickey on the inside of the frame's right slide rail about an inch forward of the rear of the frame. With the slide fully installed and the gun loaded, pulling the trigger to take up the slack in the trigger (i.e., to the reset point) moves the safety lever up and out of the way of the striker. This in turn allows the gun to be fired if the trigger is then pulled fully. See: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bKC3aoSmjtiHi6s

[@mandydale8036]

Thank you! I had to get out the owner's manual to find it but once this tiny lever was down, it went back together easily.

[@bobbyw9046]

As you stated in the beginning, Sig specifically states NOT to get any cleaners or lubes in the Striker Tunnel which by using your spray bottle to DID! I'd suggest removing the Striker Assembly and drying the inside of the Tunnel and cleaning and drying off the Striker. In the future I'd strongly recommend NOT using a spray bottle - just drip the CLP onto a clean patch.

[@whitneythecatmother5992]

Bobby W Good advice! Hopefully people take heed. Always important to follow the manufacture’s directions to a tee. They don’t just write that shit in read for the no reason. I’d be willing to bet, there are a lot of people that don’t even bother reading the manual after purchasing a new firearm. Gotta treat your tools well if you want them to last!

Thanks very much for your quick but comprehensive video! Just received my P365! As an (only) occasional shooter, I was excited to get my P365 & learn how to break it down & clean it. Yes, it is much like any other 9mm semiautomatic, but your video assured me that cleaning this particular model only has a few minor quirks, & I can now disassemble, clean, & reassemble confidently. I also appreciate that you didn’t include any Glock vs Sig or 2nd amendment political demagoguery. I wanted, & found, your KISS approach to your video. Your effort is sincerely appreciated! Stay safe!

[@serenapudelski3958]

Thank u!! First time owner, first time cleaning by myself. Very helpful video!

[@Leonardokite]

I tend to soak it down with CLP and then blow it out with compressed air. When doing that with the 365 slide all I did was force a bunch of lube into the striker channel. As per the manual this causes light primer strikes and indeed it did. I disassembled the slide and cleaned out the striker channel and stiker. Problem solved.

[@mghumphrey]

This is why I wouldn't recommend spraying the inside of the slide with CLP as shown here. Also, when cleaning the breech it's important not to push oil and junk back up into the striker channel.

Thank you for this video - I just did my first P365 cleaning with your help. But there is something I did not understand: you said you keep the slide at an angle so that no oil gets into the striker channel, and then you spray the CLP directly on the striker channel and assembly until it was drenched. You also applied lubricant directly on the striker assembly at 8:50. What am I missing? Thank you in advance for explaining.

Thanks for making this video. It is basic stuff, but not everyone knows even the basics. And I learned about pulling back the slide while holding the trigger to check the reset from you here.

Hi: I am always worried about this step when I clean my gun. At 3:15 in your video you say you are careful not to get oil in the firing pin channel, but then you spray oil right on top of the area. In addition, it appears that you are taking the toothbrush and scrubbing right over the firing pin area. Am I missing something or being TOO careful?

[@jcb86-a]

Keep it pointing downward so the solvent doesn’t flow back inside the firing pin channel.

So your process is: bath it in oil, wait, wipe off, clean? I recommend the videos from Gunblue490 about the real necessary amount of oil *hint* "wipe it with an lightly saturated oilcloth after cleaning with a guncleaner like Hoppe´s #9 -> done!" Been doing that for years now, guns are in perfect condition and less accumulation of fouling due to overlubrication. Besides your cleaning tutorials, i like your channel, keep up the good work man :)! Gruss aus Deutschland! P.S.: Owning the P365 for a few months now, having about 700 rnds through it, no problems, besides one light primer strike (Ammo ...?).

[@bruceesterline3170]

I read a lot of reviews on different firearms and I noticed some saying the weapon failed to load failed at ejecting and jamming. I ask this Did you clean it before shooting or did you take it out and test it without cleaning? I never fire a new weapon without breaking down and cleaning first. Guns come from factory with grease that needs cleaned off and proper lube then your ready to fire your weapon. There's no reason for failure due to poor matinance practice. It's not hard. And I always use the same lube on all my weapons I don't have to think about what I used on any of them.

I use a Copper/Lead solvent to clean the internal rifling in the barrel. I prefer Shooters choice.

Make sure when you are finished to oil EVERYTHING including the Nitron finish. Everything EXCEPT the striker or striker channel.

Do you wipe the clp out of the guide rod? That part was completely skipped. When I cleaned my factory new P365 before I even shot one round, the guide rod was the only thing very dirty but only on the rod itself, not the spring. I cleaned it by taking a patch in between my nail and spiraling down over and over, even after the 9th time, brown was still coming up. No other part was that black-brown color.
