I use alcohol to clean all parts other than the barrel. Hoppes #9 for the barrel. Once the gun is clean, I lubricate with a high quality gun oil. Breakfree CLP and Ballistol are my other go to options when I’m feeling lazy. Otherwise, it’s alcohol and Hoppes to get the gun spotless.
I noticed that the barrel moves quite a bit when racking the slide on mine. It is like the barrel drops down some and then when the slick moves forward it picks the barrel up and aligns is correctly.
That is normal as the barrel is designed to tilt and lose tension as you pull the slide back and then re tenses when you release. This design assists with spent case extraction.
I have upgraded on some of my other pistols and I have noticed the gun functioning with way less slop and going much better into battery with authority.
safety version must have Hammer all the way back for safety to engage. Also on the safety is engaged it also disables the slide so you won't be able to disassemble your gun
Quick question. I bout one of these guns brand new and there’s a brownish hue on some parts inside the slide. My first thought was rust. I was like how? It’s never even been wet. I have taken it into bathroom when showering but it was wrapped in a towel for steam. Is that some kind of coating out there by CZ, or could it be rust? I’ve read it’s some kind of phosphate coating. How could it be rust? It has to be there by CZ. What are your thoughts?
You don’t alway get the same uniform coating under the slide that you do on the outside but you may want to send some photos to CZ to be sure it isn’t some type of manufacturing defect.
I recommend it after every range trip but really that is up to you. I like a clean gun that is ready for anything plus by cleaning it it gives you a chance to check the internals for wear and tear
As someone who has cleaned my firing pin channel and not used break cleaner after, don't. You could make it less reliable unless you take out all the lubricant.
Thanks for the video. I just bought the exact gun. I would need you to have more light while shooting the video to see what you're actually doing.
@@ericsmith8828 sorry about that. Shortly after making this video I bought new auxiliary lighting for my cleaning videos
CZ guns are so cool
I agree and I need one!

I started using Aegis gun care products and the cleaner makes an excellent degreaser

I prefer a stainless guide rode over the polymer ones. It makes a big difference on the performance.

@@travisp11 CZ custom has them on their site
How do you know what spring to run with it?
Difference on the performance of the cleaner ?
I have the Omega. Love that gun. CZLIFE
I am overdue for a CZ!
@@travisp11 yes indeed
Thanks for the detailed process. But, my god, might as well dip your gun in oil. Why are you oiling the outside including the handle?
I went over the outside with a dry patch Ad soaked up all of the excess. I don’t even remember wiping off the grips but it I did it was optional.
So you mainly just used the oil, or did i miss something?? Do you have a link to purchase it?
@@SteveV2023 the oil will double as a cleaning solvent at the same time

This is good to know! Thank you!
@@travisp11 you're very welcome brother been watching your videos for a long time glad I could help
@@Steve_10-31 Thanks for watching and I appreciate the comments!

How often should this be done?

Thank. You! Great video!
Thanks for watching!
Good job. I liked your video.
Thanks for watching!
Hi Travis, great vid.
I have same pistol, probably be buried with it like it so much. All guns to all men!
I agree!
BTW, I featured your CZ on my podcast last weekend! She is a beaut!
@@travisp11 wicked, thanks so much Brother
I came to get a look at removal and cleaning of the firing pin and it’s channel. It was completely skipped. Bummer.
I generally don’t remove the firing pin because it’s not recommended by the manufacture in the instruction manual.
@@travisp11 If you don’t disassemble, then how do you clean the firing pin channel? Spray bore cleaner in there until it runs out clean?
@@nono-fn3zc I generally don’t.

Where did you get the gloves from? Nice explanation 👍
Amazon for the gloves but wal mart has Gorilla gloves back in the auto department. Check my channel for a review
@@travisp11 Will do! Thank you sir! 🙏🏼
CZ-75 SP-01 will not go into safety until fully cocked. There is no safety at half cock.
