Beretta 92/96 Owners Inside

Well, I'll be the first to admit I was a cleaning fanatic for the longest time... everytime I'd get home it'd be a detail strip down to the last spring.
Now I just run a boresnake throught the barrel
after use and wipe the exterior down in oil.
I'm still a fanatic though and will do a detail clean when its noticeably dirtier or every couple months or when bored

I just take the slide off (takes a second), run a patch through a barrel a few times, wipe the surfase off with a lense cleaner cloth (work grat with guns as well :wink: ) and gun oil. Also I put a drop of oil on the railes, hammer action (if needed) same with the extractor.
btw did you get a Beretta or the Taurus? what model?

I'm still in the process of getting my licence, but I will be getting the Beretta 92 FS. Not sure if I want the Brigadier model yet, or whether I want Bruniton or Inox as the finish. I figure its better off to have the real thing rather than a cheaper copy.
My usual process is to clear it first (of course), before I field strip it by removing the slide, spring, barrel, and grips. I run a wet brush with solvent through the bore first, then wipe everything down with a patch moistened with MPro7 cleaner (the least voliatile cleaner I know about that still works well), before working on the heavy fouling with a brush. I then dry with a towel, oil with FP-10 or BreakFree CLP, then go to work on brushing the barrel (now that the solvent has had some time to work on it), before running patches through it and finishing with an oiled patch.
At the end, I usually wipe down the surfaces that recieve the most fouling with an oiled patch to leave a slight film of oil, especially the breechface, the feeding ramp area, slide rails, and the inside of the slide. I find this makes cleaning easier next time. Remember to take the opportunity to clean the magazines if neccessary.
If you get the Inox, cleaning will probably be a bit easier than with the bruniton; at least, you'll be able to see what you're cleaning much better with the stainless.
This is probably overkill, and you can probably get away with just cleaning the bore between every 3 or 4 range trips, but I like to keep my guns as clean as possible.
Also, it doesn't hurt to know how to detail strip your gun when you get really paranoid. :lol:

check out a GSD too, not Inox though, but great guns.
cleaning though? I'll admit my normal use gun hardly ever gets cleaned. I might wipe it down now and then and relube it, but that's about it. When I do clean it, usually after 5,000 rounds or so (not kidding). I detail strip it and clean every single little nook and cranny. using Qtips, picks, and brake cleaner. For the barrel all I really care about is carbon fouling, so I use standard bore cleaners and patches, no brushes. then I relube and assemble. Giving the frame a spray down with some metal protector, just to give it back it's nice black, not the dull flat black the brake cleaner gives it.
