Proper Lubrication

Remove the magazine and make sure there is not a cartridge in the chamber of the barrel before lubricating your pistol.

Before using your new pistol for the first time, we recommend that you check to make sure it is properly lubricated.

As always when picking up a handgun for the first time MAKE SURE THE MUZZLE IS POINTED IN A SAFE DIRECTION retract the slide and lock the action of the pistol open.

REMOVE THE MAGAZINE and MAKE SURE THERE IS NOT A CARTRIDGE IN THE CHAMBER OF THE BARREL.

Once you have made sure the pistol is unloaded, inspect the outside of the barrel to make sure that it has a light film of oil on it. With the slide locked back turn the pistol over and inspect the grooves on the inside of the slide to make sure they are lubricated (Figure 1).

If the pistol appears to be dry add a drop of gun oil to each of the grooves in the slide and a drop of gun oil behind the muzzle of the barrel (Figure 2).

DO NOT let oil get inside the muzzle, if it does, use a bore swab to remove excess oil from the inside of the barrel. Close the slide and place a drop of gun oil on top of the barrel hood (Figure 3).

WITH THE MUZZLE POINTED IN A SAFE DIRECTION AND THE MAGAZINE REMOVED FROM THE PISTOL, run the slide back and forth several times to work the lubricant between the barrel and the slide and between the slide and the frame.

There is no need to over lubricate your pistol, four drops is all you need. If you have any questions on how to lubricate your pistol consult your PARA Dealer or PARA Customer Service.
