I have all tools needed and I can take down mmy P95 with ease, I have the lube and the cleaning bottles, and the proper jags and brushes. I just need a little bit of guidence.

would some one be willing to skype with me and do this??

I would really appreciate it.

again, The gun will already be taken down so I can do that already safely so no worry on that. I would just like to prep the gun for range use so it needs Lubing.

well first, I read the guide on Cornered Cat. but it uses a lot of pics and I just don't follow %100 what its pointing out.

I know how to take out the barrel, recoyal spring but I am not sure exactly what "Where anything touch metal" means up above. I'd feel allot comfortable over some sort of webcam or, anyone in the PHX area willing to sale me their time. say $20 or something for an hour or half hour of your time?
 
If you Google the words how to clean p95 you will get no less than 168,000 results! Many of these are Youtube videos and others are links to other Internet sites with helpful information.

Gabe,

The P95 doesn't need much lubrication to operate properly. Most people tend to overlubricate, so when in doubt put less on than you think it needs.

With the gun taken down, get some oil on your fingers and rub it all around the barrel where the barrel fits through the opening in the front of the slide. Then rub a little on the inside top and inside sides of the slide in the area where the barrel sits when the gun is assembled.

If you feel around on the inside of the slide, toward the rear (next to the safety/decock levers) you'll feel a small spring-loaded button. Put a dab of oil (or maybe light grease) on the surface of the button using a finger. Don't squirt oil onto the button.

Also get some oil on the upper slanted surfaces on the recoil spring assembly and the lower slanted surfaces of the barrel where they mate together when assembled.

You can put some oil--not much at all--on the rails of the frame that fit into the long grooves that run the length of the inside of the slides. There are four rails, two forward rails and two rear rails.

With the gun field stripped, (ejector in the down position) put a finger on the left side of the frame just in front of the left rear rail and pull the trigger slightly. When you move the trigger back and forth you'll feel a part move forward and backward and slightly upward against the finger, that's the trigger bar. It needs a dab of oil (or perhaps light grease) on the top part of it where you felt it move against your finger.

If you feel the front edge of the right rear frame rail, you'll feel a small protrusion that sticks out on the inside edge. If you push up on it, it will pivot upward. Immediately to the left of that protrusion (running left to right across the center of the gun), there's a coil spring that you'll be able to feel with your fingernail.

Now feel behind the spring (toward the hammer) and you'll note that there's a gap behind the spring. The spring puts tension on the part that it sits above (the sear). With the ejector in the down position you can feel the front side of that part if you feel down below the spring in the magazine well. You want to get a drop of oil on the BACK of that part. So tilt the gun forward and put a drop of oil down behind the spring in that gap. You want it to run down the back of the part that the spring is on.

That should take care of it.
 
You really can't over lubricate your gun. Some people will say yes you can; because the powder residue, dirt, etc... will attract to the oil and can create sludge and gunk; thus impeding proper mechanical actions. Well; in theory, yes. In reality; most people clean their guns after each use at the range. Therefor, the amount of lubrication on the gun when it's put away after being cleaned, isn't going to be picking up any dirt, residue, powder blast, etc... Also; when the time comes that you need the gun for self defense; it's very unlikely that it's after firing 500 rounds at the range where it collected a lot of residue powder, dirt and dust collected to the oil. It's after it's been cleaned and then lubricated. Therefor, a clean gun with a lot of oil on it, is not going to cause a problem with the 1-7 bullets you're possibly going to shoot in self defense. The excessive oil isn't going to make the bullets feed from the magazine poorly. If it's a revolver, it will do even less damage. The only time too much lubricant can be a problem is when it's in an area of the gun that's going to collect powder residue, carbon, dust, and dirt from shooting it. But for a self defense situation where the gun has been cleaned after the last time at the range, the excess lubrication isn't going to hurt anything.

Sure you can. If you put more on than you need then you over lubricated it.

Will it result in a practical decrease in reliability in a typical self-defense situation? Probably not, but you'll notice I didn't claim that it would.

Applying more oil than you need tends to make a mess. It will make the gun more of a pain to clean because the excess lubricant tends to run into places it doesn't belong and, of course, it attracts and retains fouling that would otherwise brush off easily or not build up in the first place.
 
What is it I am missing here? You are blind...can't watch videos but can read this text. I am just trying to understand how you can get help.
 
BMB,Has Screen Reader software for text-Voice,So in a video that just shows and speaks of lubrication here and there is useless to him unless it names the the specific parts.I think JohnKSa did a great job and have covered all the bases in his text post #8 for BMB.


Just So BMB doesn't have to repeat him self he uses a spotter when he shoots,as mention in past posts.

I can do it with you if you have AIM, I can watch you on webcam and help you out. I clean my p345 after every range trip, and even sometimes in paranoia if I get a couple drops of water on it.
Let me know. I have PMed you my number.
 
Also, if you watched the video I posted you can hear the screen reader talk and read where I was at on the screen in the beginning and the end of the video.

I hope soon I get to a place here on TFL where I don't have to some how prove that I am blind before I get help.

I don't understand what I would gain by faking it. and well I just thought I could get some help from a place I feel comfortable with and a place I trust, like TFL.

but hey KYO I will call you soon, and thanks for the help.

To post 8, right on I am studying my gun feeling all the parts you mentioned so I may get femiluar with the internals of my gun. again, to the helpful, thanks!:confused:
 
KYO is the man

He walked me through it via phone and webcam. very patient man and we got the job done.

This is what I hoped TFL would be and now I know there is great help on TFL.
 
I just watched your take down video- it looks great!! You've certainly done your homework. I'm waiting for the how to lube video and a range report with targets.

Glad that you were able to get your P95 lubed. Kudos to Kyo and JohnKSa.
 
I'm a latecomer to the thread, and not a frequent visitor to the site, TBH. However, I just wanted to say I liked your video. The only thing I figured I'd add to the conversation regarding lube is to be careful around the firing pin. If the P95 is anything like the Glocks, you can get too much oil down inside the firing pin chamber and that can lead to some gunk buildup. My sister had this problem and had a couple fail to fires before I took it down for her and cleaned it out. Now it works fine. Elsewhere, the issue isn't as pronounced, though it can make a mess.

I'm sure you already knew all that, but what the heck. Good luck!
