How to Lubricate a .40 Caliber Semi Automatic Handgun
Okay, again when we get back into the care for the weapon I just briefly touched on lubrication but now I am going to go a little bit more in depth with lubricating. When you lubricate the firearm you have to lubricate the outside as well as the inside. Sometimes what will happen if the weapon is exposed to elements like rain, snow, things of that nature, saltwater, any of those elements it can over time wear and tear. You will see surface rust if you don't take care of your weapon properly. You might see a little bit of corrosion. Okay, those are the things you want to be leery of and be aware of. You want to take care of them as soon as possible. So again if I just cleaned my weapon I would use a regular cleaning patch with a little bit of lubricant and I would wipe down the slide. Not to the point where it is dripping you know with oil or with the lubricant but just enough to give it at nice coat too you know I would say not really moist. To keep it free and clear of any you know because it is metal it will rust if not cared for properly. You want to retard that. And the same thing with the bottom half you want to do same exact thing.
