Here it goes! I picked up this fancy Beretta 90-Two F .40S&W this morning! Me so happy! My first handgun! I'm finally free of socialist NYC! I'm in freedom land Florida!
So, about the cleaning... since I did it for the first time in my life today... I cleaned the damn thing for an hour and I'm not sure if it's clean enough
I followed the instructions, I field stripped it, cleaned the barrel with bronze brush and gun cleaning agent spray thing, then soft brush and a drop of oil, then cotton swab through it, finally barrel "snake". Came out a bit dirty, even after 5 minutes of cleaning ( I shot 450 rounds today ). Then, sprayed the slide and parts of frame with gun cleaning spray, waited 5 minutes, sprayed again and cleaned with soft brush. Repeated twice. I can still see few spots I couldn't reach with the tools I have: tiny little groves in the slide etc. I did the best I could.
Then the part that made me wonder... oil
I put total of maybe 6 to 8 tiny drops of oil in the gun. On barrel slide, triger, triger pull mechanism thing, mag release button, in front of trigger, and those two funny metal parts that stick out after field strip in front of the hammer.
SO how much oil is too much??? I can see it dripping out along slide etc. Again, I put only about 7 tiny drops total. IS that OK???
