I completely strip the gun as far as it will go . I squirt the trigger assembly with remoil and then blow it dry with an air can. I clean the barrel(s) and lightly oil them on the inside, I use a tikki wipe for cleaning the barrels. Wipe off all the gook inside the receiver with solvent and then with a cleaning patch and a good oil rub the insides of the receiver to leave a light film of oil. Clean the outside of the gun with a aerosol solvent and then run Shooters Choice fp10 remoil or Eezox on a patch and go over the exterior of the gun. Berettas and Franchis come with their own oil and this might come with its own as well if not use what I listed abovejust follow the manufacturers instructions on disassembly. A little oil is better then a lot of oil on the operating surfaces and the interior of the barrel.
