Hello,

I just picked up a Sig 226 (40 cal) this past weekend. While going over the owners manual it said I should clean it before it's first use. Are there any cleaning kits or separate products that you've used on your 226 that you can recommend?

Thanks!

Checked out the vids on Sig's site...
Very cool! Though I would have thought it a mortal sin to ever run a brush muzzle to chamber, but he was going back and forth in that video..

His barrel bore procedure was:
1. brush dry
2. patch solvent
3. grab a donut, a few minutes to soak.. 10 or so.
4. brass jag w/ patches till scrub until dry/clean
5. lube then patch till dry

Good stuff.. nice to actually SEE someone do it. Not that it's anything hard, but his reassembly functional check I learned something about the disconnect check. cool beans. :smt023
