frog lube and brand new gun

[jerrybait#1]

i want to use frog lube from day one on my yet to receive beretta px4/ 9mm. i plan on cleaning off what ever the factory lubes with. question is do i have to detail strip to apply frog lube or just a field strip (easy) 1st post hi everybody and thanks

When I got my PX4, I just did a basic field strip and cleaning with gun oil (Hoppe's). Shot it about 300-400 rounds. Then I fully detailed stripped it and thoroughly cleaned every part, then Frog Lubed per instructions (heat, apply, dry, wipe).

I basically do this with every pistol. I tend to break it in using regular gun oil, then a full detail strip cleaning and FL.

Check your book.. Some factories reccomended using the lube from factory for break in. I've only purchased one gun new so I wouldn't really know but a used gun I always break down and inspect and then lube the way I like.

Shoot it...

Then clean it.

Shoot it first, then take it down. People buy a new gun, take it apart, don't put it back together properly, then come on here to complain that their brand new gun is defective. Evidently this happens so much now that Wilson tells their owners to shoot first, dissemble later, as they were getting so many perfectly fine guns returned by novice shooters.

Nobody reads manuals either. I went to get my gun out of jail and the guy is like "read the manual" and I'm like "I already did" and he gave me a look like that was the first time he had heard that in his 10 years working there.
