P R O P E R L U R I C T I O N

After cleaning, we recommend that your pistolbe lubricated withULTIMA LUBE® Universal

L u b e Points:

Slide - 2-3 drops inside top just in front of locking lug cuts.

Barrel - 1 drop on eachside of slide stop lug and at each slidestop bearing surface. 2 drops at the muzzleand wherethe barrel contacts the ID of barrel bushing.

Frame - 1-2 drops both front and rear on the frame rails as wellas in the slide rail cu t on each side

Guide Rod- 2-3 drops on the exterior surface where contact with theplug is made.

A basic rule of thumb is to apply a thin coat of lube anywhere you seesign of metal to metal contact and don t apply lube anywhere else.

Excess lubewill only get you dirty and collect firing residue. A pistol



properly lubricated as shown below FIG. PL1 should not need further lubrication for 300-500 rds. Refer to accompanying video formore detailed lubricating procedures. NOTE: Video tape was madebefore the development o f ULTIMA LUBEK Universal
