Beretta 92 Series Lubrication (From Ernest Langdon on Instagram)

[Thy.Will.Be.Done]

Thought I would share this here because it was really informative... it was a.good rundown of how the pistol operates which I've never seen before.

I have no way to show the video here but there is a link to his post on Beretta's Instagram account.

Thanks. That is an excellent primer on how to lube the 92-series pistols.

That is golden. I'm a pretty experienced 92 guy, but I'll admit I'd never thought of lubricating the inner receiver areas where the barrel reciprocates. That'll be done tonight 😊! Best, Jon

There are some areas in this video that I haven’t been hitting!! If you don’t think lube is important try running a USP .45 completely dry. I had a friend run all his guns completely dry and his USP .45 choked on factory ammo, a little bit of lube and wall-a it ran like a top!!

Thank you for sharing. Good advice.

Saw this as I was cleaning my ltt after shooting today. I was pleased to see I’ve been doing it right over the years.

Me too! Totally new information.

[JonInWA]

Mine wasn't bone-dry there, as I'd actually been lubricating the rails underneath the barrel and on the locking block, but lubricating the inner rails as Ernest depicts is a more efficient way to do things.

My lubricant of preference for metal-on-metal reciprocating components is Lucas Red "N" Tacky #2 grease (thanks to Claubbersaurus here on p-f), and Weapon Shield for other areas and as an anti-corrosive.

Best, Jon

Thank you for sharing. My only "trainging" on the 92 was in the Army with the M9 and we learned zero real maintenance information.

I hope you expand on this at some point. I'd like to see or hear what you recommend for lubrication points in the frame of the 92 and how often (sear pin, hammer pin, Sear to hammer, etc).

Thanks

He's posted a video on lubing the PX4 now, too.

Ernest is the guy that turned me onto using the Lucas gun oil (https://amzn.to/2VUwykW) $8 off of Amazon. I use it for household stuff, guns, the kid's bikes, etc.

For a general lubricant/rust protectant, I've been pretty satisfied with Weapon Shield. I've been very pleased with Lucas Red "N" Tacky #2 grease, though. Any idea on how does the Lucas Extreme Duty Gun Oil compare with Weapon Shield?

Best, Jon

That was an excellent video! I had a whoops moment after watching that video. Lucas gun oil is awesome, I've been using it for awhile now. I always use lucas for my dirt bikes and quads so I figured it would probably work well. Seems to stay where you want it and doesn't seem to dissipate from heat. But I've been known for using 10w-30 on firearms too so...

I think I've been getting oil/grease into the locking lug recesses by total accident (I usually put grease directly on the outside of the lugs). Corrected that thanks to this vid.

Those of you with Lucas oilers similar to Ernest's - do you happen to know of anyone who sells similar oilers, empty? I've been using a Titan Tools oiler for ALG Go-Juice for a year now but it can be difficult to get a consistent, controllable flow like I would from a bottle. Amazon reviews seem very hit or miss on the empty oilers they sell.

Nicely done. I've always been a proponent of lubing the inside rails as well.

I typically use grease, especially for a carry gun.

I am happy with the Oiler needle models from brownells. Rand CLP and Wilson Combat light oil work great for me.
