P320 Field Strip and Cleaning with Chris Cavallaro

[@jesse8330]

P320 was my first sig handgun man everything they say about sig is true awesome quality I'm a sig man from now on

[@SpeakingAsAMan]

Same here bro. The first time I shot a sig was the the p320 x compact. Fell in love with all those dead center hits. Been assigned man ever since

[@kwik2hear915]

The 320 makes me shoot like Annie Oakley,the gun loves bullseyes and I do too!!!!

[@thedon22z]

Awesome getting my first hand gun as well. I Just put a deposit on a M18x… I am so excited can’t wait to join the club💪🏾

[@nunzionapoli6325]

It's overpriced and they don't stand behind their product like Glock and Vortex.

[@mariomartin1981]

@@nunzionapoli6325 Glock and Vortex are far from the top end of quality that Sig is,LOL..

Im getting a sig p320 here in a couple of days and am super excited. Its gonna be my first handgun and im a little nervouse about the cleaning😂

[@torymma92]

Picking one up Sunday, first handgun as well. Hope you enjoy it!

[@Bilbus7]

let's clean it together Tommy

[@jamellhunter5086]

Nice instructions. I just got a sig sauer p320 m18. My very first gun

[@J1Z06]

I've had a 226, a 239 and a Mosquito. I'm picking up My first P320 X Compact right now! I'm super excited to try it at the range. Thank You for a great video.

[@MrBurrito4U]

Great video. Was able to clean my gun and came out awesome! Thank you

[@wiick3dwayyz349]

Thanks. Very detailed video.

[@glennrishton5679]

A suggestion for the video: 1 Wear a lighter colored shirt. A dark gun is difficult to see against a dark background. 2 Keep the pistol lower, closer to a light colored table and a camera angle slightly down. to better show the interior of the pistol. 3 Get the camera closer to actually show what is described. 4 Focus. Recently changed triggers on my full size P 320, went to a flat trigger. Several newer pistols by several manufacturers have such a curved trigger then in firing the end of the trigger digs into my finger uncomfortably. Flat trigger, no problem.

[@arghyachatterjee3008]

Also, post in at least 1080p resolution. 360p is from 2005.

great video - makes it simple rather than seeing the illustrations in the manual

[@AlfredoHernandez-vb6vu]

Good video Cav, got down to it which I like. Thank You

[@davidleesin112]

I love if you would do a video on removing the take down lever of the 320 when you want to remove the fcu, which for me seems to be a bit difficult, I currently have it in a compact carry frame, but I prefer the xcompact frame, my problem is that I can't get the take down lever out of the xcarry frame presently, but I have not been able to find any videos detailing that, love the sig pistols though & especially the take down lever over the glock style

[@matthewmyersattorneyatlawp3856]

amen

[@kwik2hear915]

Call or email the company, I'm sure they'd want to hear from you.

[@Sungawd69]

+1 "Remove the takedown lever" sorry, it's not that simple

[@Rdpgh]

Great video! But I have a question, at about 6:00 he pushes a patch to clean out the solvent from the barrel… but did he ever apply solvent/clp into it before that moment? Thanks for the clarification!

[@matthewrogers4367]

He did not put any solvent in the inside of the barrel. I'm baffled

[@SabaiSabaiMuayThai-pj1yn]

THis video cleared sooo much up!

[@hiker4life4020]

Good explanation...wish there were close ups but other than that... This is my 2nd Sig. I already have a P365. Tried other guns...this is my go to Definitely a Sig lady

[@kwik2hear915]

Bought a 365, and last week the 320, SIG is a true well made machine!!!!!

[@DrQuagmire1]

@SIG SAUER Academy: got a question......"How often should the P320 be field-stripped for cleaning and lubrication"? Because I purchased one back in October and fired around 300-rounds at the range so far, and is my concealed carry weapon.

[@TerminalM193]

I take care of my carry/home defense options WAY more than range guns. Every single time my carry fires more than a box of ammo "50" it's taken down to field strip level and cleaned. It's an extremely simple process and even easier if you have a bore snake. I recommend picking up clenzoil CLP. It has by far the best viscosity of all other CLPs and is 100% safe on any part of your firearm all the way from wood, polymer, aluminum or any kind of metal. Cleans beautifully and actually protects longer than any other clp. Before adding any kind of CLP wipe out whatever you can with a dry rag/patch and then apply a liberal coat of clp to the entire gun, do some scrubbing and simply wipe off any access and you're done.

[@DrQuagmire1]

@@TerminalM193 I do have Breakfree CLP that I use when taking my guns down to field-strip level for cleaning, and the stuff works rather well

[@DavidLLambertmobile]

I'd clean, field strip my P320 or carry gun after each range use. Clean the barrel, check the magazines, carry ammunition too. CLP or gun oil can seep into pistol mags. I currently use Slip 2000 EWL, as shown in the video. ✔ Ballistol is good too. No fumes or harsh chemicals. Do not shoot 500, 2000, 5000 handgun rounds & avoid basic cleaning 🚫. Your firearm can last years if you maintain it correctly.

[@DavidLLambertmobile]

@@TerminalM193 Good tips. I use Froglube 🐸 for years(since 2014 era). The CLP is good but I saw a few recent reviews saying Clenzoil CLP is better. ✔ Slip 2000 EWL as shown in the SIG video works well on most guns. I spray firearms with a solvent, then brush or clean the lead, crud, grit out. I then apply a light coat of CLP. I strip and clean magazines too but avoid gun oils, CLP. That can seep into the springs, cases.

[@TerminalM193]

@@DavidLLambertmobile I used to use frog lube too until I saw a video here on KZbin where this guy made his own viscosity tester where he would apply friction to a peice of metal over a period of time and would measure the amperage of his machine needing to stay on the same speed as well as measure the friction damage afterwards.... The frog lube did 2nd to worst with the viscosity and that was using the grease too.... Was a bummer. I immediately hung up the frog lube lol....

[@DrQuagmire1]

Doesn't the firing pin (housed in the slide) have to be removed as well for cleaning? Had thought about doing that in a future cleaning, but didn't wanna run the risk of accidentally damaging the pin

[@-RONNIE]

Nice video keep up the great work 👍🏻

[@coinacopia2168]

Thank you for the video. It would be more helpful with some close-ups when you are referring to specific parts and assembly. Thanks

[@vannawhitesbabbydaddy9390]

Thank You! God Bless You Brother! Great Video! 🙏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@kingsterr323]

The manuel specifically says do not use the wire brush and also do not at all lubricate the striker.

[@jrsthesedays925]

Do you have proof?

[@patrickwiseman7458]

I was told to push that cleaning rod only one direction. Is that not correct???? I’m new to sig

[@dalepres1]

I see it from 2014 through this week, many owners have a problem getting the slide back on the FCU/Frame. Mine stops like it hit a brick wall, a complete, instant, solid, stop about 1/2 inch before it's fully on the slide, let alone sliding back to cock. I've done the upside down trick, played with the guide rod and spring over and over again. My brand new P320, arrived late yesterday, became completely useless. After enough playing around, I managed to get the slide on but every time I go through the same thing. I had high hopes for this gun but it's going to be a safe queen if I can't get that fixed.

[@Woelfe]

I have a 2019 model I have taken apart and put together numerous times with no issues. I got a newer version (2022) and first time I reassembled it I had the same exact problem. Look at your recoil guide spring assembly. The "roundish" head that seats onto the barrel. That recoil spring likely has a pair of flat edges around the ends of the oval shape. That flat edge should be seated on the barrel. If you seat the rounded edge it will not let the slide go back on the frame. It was maddening for me until I found a video. Then I read the owners manual and it specifically points this out. RTFM hits home. lol I compared recoil springs and sure enough, my older 2019 model has a complete circle head with no flat edges.

[@2004987654321]

Am I backwards or was the recoil spring backward when he took it apart. Shouldn’t the closed end be towards the guide rod?

[@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

[@TerminalM193]

I'm not familiar with that CLP but I can tell you the absolute best and proven CLP for a legion or sig or any firearm for that matter is clenzoil clp. It's got the best viscosity of all other CLPs, cleans like one of the best and also actually protects WAY longer than any other CLP and what's great is that it's 100% safe on any kind of coating, polymer, wood, aluminum, metal.... Litteraly EVERYTHING a gun is made out of it won't hurt it one bit. It's also got a nice smell to it compared to others. I even use the stuff on my nice leather work boots and pretty much all of my tools and it keeps them all extremely clean looking. My boots absolutely love the stuff and drink it right up and allows the next cleaning to be super easy because of the non greasy coat it leaves behind.

[@DavidLLambertmobile]

Gunzilla brand CLP was trendy in the GWOT 🌏 era, 2000s. That, Weaponshield, Break Free CLP, Froglube 🐸, Ed's Red, Hoppes Gun Medic, Slip 2000, LPX(a gun brand I used), Ballistol. In 2022, most gunners say get a decent non toxic CLP with 0 or little use of petroleum 🛢. Read the labels and see what the gun oil, CLP has. Many shooters like Clenzoil. I might buy the CLP & barrel rods too. I used Ballistol 🇩🇪 for years. It's non toxic, no harsh fumes. Works on wood, metal, rubber. It has great ⛺🚗🛶🚤🏠 uses too. Hinges, pulley, hoses, locks, rails.

[@markl4502]

Should you take out the fire control assembly to clean it more effectively? Or just leave it in to clean?

[@TerminalM193]

For basic cleaning just leave it in, I take mine out in a full strip once every 6 months.

[@Star-ty1nx]

Thanks for your video, it was very useful for a newbie like me. My only complaint is with the low resolution of your video (360p). That's so yesterday 😇

[@tgu29]

Excelent !! Video 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@rinconmike]

Looks like you are using Slip 2000 EWL. Do you use a cleaner too or just the EWL? Any other lubricant or just the EWL?

[@madffx1986]

I am planning to buy an m17 or m18 the sound of working the slide a couple of times in the end take me dady sig.

I just picked up my BRAND NEW SIG P320 Xcompact RXP 3.6 barrel with Romeo1 Pro just TODAY in Maryland 👍😁🤑 For the over $1100 I paid, If this is really the parent Sig channel, pretty sure you folks can afford better than 360p video & camera?

[@GarrettGraf]

I’m confused did he use lubricant for a cleaning agent lol

[@ComputeCrunch]

360p, really?

[@SleepWith1iOpen-X]

I just recently got the P320 Compact and I was looking for good directions on cleaning it properly, right from the manufacturer. I have to agree with others that it's very hard to make out exactly what's being done here. It's too far away and the black on black color scheme is making it difficult to see. You guys need to make a new one with the camera being right on the gun and the accessories so people can see what's happening.

[@dalepres1]

What? No bear fat allowed for lubrication?

[@josueperex]

360p WTH

[@markellis5008]

My P320 really smells nice with the lavender infused Johnson & Johnson baby oil.

[@paulnolastname3301]

[@M1Garandful]

Please wear eye protection when you're disassembling a firearm. Springs are under pressure and scrubbing/spraying can injure eyes.

[@DavidLLambertmobile]

I wear 👓 so that's a non issue, but I'd agree a good safety habit is to wear 🥽 around firearms. I've seen gun springs fly off 😜 or have fumes, sprays get all over.

[@kccodex8931]

Basic

[@brentmcgillis]

At no point did you talk about visual inspection of the barrel, the slide or ANY of the components, nor did you speak about the kinds of defects or potential damaged components to watch for in this particular weapon. Not surprising since the average gun owner has the mental capacity of a large rock that you can find beside any road in America. This video contains no information that you would not find in the owners manual. This video is about as useful as the owners manual in your new Chevy telling you how to operate the stereo. IMO He points at parts of the weapon he is talking about by indicating with his finger while pointing at black gun components that simply vanish into his Black shirt, making the parts he is talking about virtually invisible as the detail washes out with his shirt color choice. More importantly there are NO close-up shots of the gun or the individual parts, also there are NO graphics to give gun owners a sharp image of the components you speak of. This presentation may as well have been prepared for a Radio program, because the benefit of this being a video is lost in the total absence of any production values that would help consumers to properly inspect their weapon while cleaning the unit. This video is of sufficient low quality in production values, that it may as well been used as a Cue card in a Podcast. A handgun is likely the very First weapon ever owned by a consumer, so a little more attention should have been given to production values because the new owner of this weapon is probably looking at this piece of Iron as the very first time he has ever serviced and maintained such a piece of personal protection in his or her lifetime. Just sayin'.

[@robertdoyle240]

Sorry but you talk to fast

[@sqwk2559]

Sorry, I just can’t trust instructors that teach press-checks.

You know how many times I have seen someone start a drill only to discover they haven’t chambered a round?

Wtf is wrong with press checks? I do it all the time even when I know a round is chambered....
