How To Clean: Sig Sauer P320 Pistol

[@TheMelizalde2494]

Grew up without a father or father figure, and have always had to figure things out on my own never knew how to clean my gun until this video. Was too embarrassed to ask around. Truly from the bottom of my heart thank you so much for this video.

[@ajtorrestorres1983]

😢😢

[@spartan_gainz4198]

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

[@ryanfrank1309]

​​@@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 KZbin 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.

New to firearms the Sig P320C is my first gun. I have training in a few day's. This video was helpful and you made it very easy to understand even for the newbie.

[@craigfuhr]

Just picked up my P320 40 cal today. It;s my first handgun - and feels almost as good as having my first kid. I had a hard time figuring out how to reassemble it following my exuberance to disassemble it. I didn't realize you had to lock the slide to allow the takedown lever to rotate. I am amazed at how simple this gun is to take down. THANKS for a great video!

[@ClayTraderGuns]

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

[@BigChiefTomTom53]

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

[@matthewgibson2267]

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

[@R40x40]

The use of Gun Scrubber or Powder Blast after you have loosened up all the fouling does a great job of getting rid of all of it in short order. Follow up with another round of solvent cleaning and repeat the process as necessary. Finally spraying Sheath Rust Preventative down the barrel and on all the metal surfaces following up with a clean patch to remove any excess will leave a coating that will not allow fingerprinting on the metal. All the friction services are coated with Firepower FP-10 Lubricate Ellite, a drop of each rail letting gravity work it down the entire rail and wiping off the excess. I like to use Butches Bore Shine, discovered it after buying a Lilija Barrel, which is hand lapped and top quality accuracy, I haven't found a better solution for cleaning in short order. Also I sometimes use Sweets 7.62, and also the old stand by Hoppes but not so much using Hoppes at this time. I have just bought some CLP but haven't tried it yet and another similar product....but for my most expensive target pistols and rifles I use the process as previously noted. Thanks for the article on the Sig P320 as I have just purchases one and like to know what to do before attempting to disassembling it for cleaning. Looks fairly straight forward and easy.

[@tinawebne8056]

Thank you, You made it nice and easy to understand. Been 40 years since I was in Army and that long since I have owned a pistol

[@mistercindy9601]

Darn good video. I've been cleaning firearms for a half-century, and your pouring oil into an old gallon jug cap is genius!

[@craiglaw7578]

Good video for as far as you go. A good field strip and cleaning is much better than nothing. The beauty of the P320 is that you can also break down the FCU, extractor and striker assemblies. If you don’t feel confident going into that detail, take your weapon to your friendly neighborhood gunsmith and he or she can clean down to the sear housing for you.

[@BigChiefTomTom53]

Hey, I was looking for info on lubing, so I watched this again... Go to Cabela's and get a BORE SNAKE for $10! I shit you not... I'll put CLP on the bore snake; run it ONCE, and the whole barrel will be clean! I run it one more time just to be certain that nothing was left, but stop wasting time and money on patches :-D The BORE SNAKE is absolutely amazing...

[@kaq1979]

Thank you for this video. It was really helpful being a new gun owner.

[@ckirby241]

This video was a huge help! I watched this video the very first time I cleaned my Sig P320 SC and it was explained so clearly. The only thing that I had trouble with the first time (and couldn't find a description in any other video) was the correct way to put the spring back in. The spring has a flat end and a rounded end. It took me some time to learn that the slide wouldn't pull back to lock into place because the spring was loaded in wrong. The spring needs to go on the barrel with the rounded end placed on it.

[@Mikesbike]

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

[@hXrsmurf]

Thanks for the video. As a new shooter I got this P320. Great so far. Put 400 rounds through it and found this video to clean. Excellent!

[@acolytesun]

Informative and easy to understand. Thank you for the time you took to explain. I'm learning how to operate my sig p320 I recently picked up. Cheers, mate.

You can take the fire control unit out for cleaning, a little tough at first but not hard to do.

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

[@BigChiefTomTom53]

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!

[@azcharlie2009]

I'm not a real big gun guy, but I've had guns for years. I always thought you cleaned the gun with something like Hops 9, then oil it with a gun oil of some kind. Are they making stuff know that does both?

[@S5King7]

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.

[@azcharlie2009]

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?

[@S5King7]

@@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.

[@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

[@Oatmilkis]

Damn did not expect to watch a gun review from you

[@joseescalona8312]

It is possible to get it perfectly clean I had to clean for a couple of hours at the armory 😭. After I cleaned my rifle, a corporal showed me a trick, this was for a rifle so I don’t know if it applies for a gun (slamming what would be the slide, or tapping it against a surface to get the gunk out, then wiping it clean with a rag, then the q tips).

[@necronorris]

I use one of those old nasty brown towels they issued us in the USAF.

[@markb4448]

Its already been said but dude remove the fire control! it pulls right out!!!

[@manuelescobar247]

Thanks for the video

[@AlexMielnik]

Just my observation...seems to be quite a bit more oil than is necessary when you reassemble and will attract more buildup if put back together that wet...

[@iAmNyC718]

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

[@AlexMielnik]

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...

[@StratBurst92]

@@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.

[@brentfoto]

Release the slide? How? After you swing takedown lever to disassemble slide from frame, do you need to press down on slide release first or does it just slide off on its own with forward movement?

[@82luft49]

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.

You really don’t need to use all those things. Unless it’s incredibly dirty, those solvents are not necessary. You can simply clean them with a cleaning lubricant like WD-40. No need to over do it, but to each their own. The barrel may be the only thing you need a copper cleaner on (in most cases).

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.

Does the P320 require more cleaning than a Glock? I always just use a dry toothbrush to get the carbon out of the slide, and other surfaces that are dirty. I found that I didn't need to use CLP or anything else. I'll use cleaner on the barrel, and put a tiny amount of oil on the slide rails, but that's about it. I definitely wouldn't use cleaner anywhere near the polymer sections.
