54CAUTION:Always ensure that the safety is fully engaged until ready to fire. Asafety is fully engaged only when the safety can move no further into the safeposition. STORE YOUR FIREARM SO THAT CHILDREN CANNOT GAIN ACCESS TOIT.3. It is your responsibility to insure that children under the age of 18 or otherunauthorized persons do not gain access to your firearm.
To reduce the risk ofaccidents involving children, unload your firearm, lock it and store theammunition in a separate locked location.Please note that devices intended toprevent accidents - for example, cable locks, chamber plugs, etc, - may notprevent use or misuse of your firearm by a determined person. Steel gun safesmay be more appropriate to reduce the likelihood of intentional misuse of a firearmby an unauthorized child or person.4. NEVER SHOOT AT WATER OR AT A HARDSURFACE.4.

Shooting at the surface of water or at a rock orother hard surface increases the chance ofricochets or fragmentation of the bullet or shot,which can result in the projectile striking anunintended or peripheral target.5. KNOW THE SAFETY FEATURES OF THE FIREARM YOU ARE USING, BUTREMEMBER: SAFETY DEVICES ARE NOT A SUBSTITUTE FOR SAFEHANDLING PROCEDURES.5. Never rely solely on a safety device to prevent an accident. It is imperative that youknow and use the safety features of the particular firearm you are handling, butaccidents can best be prevented by following the safe handling proceduresdescribed in these safety rules and elsewhere in the product manual. To furtherfamiliarize yourself with the proper use of this or other firearms, take a FirearmsSafety Course taught by an expert in firearms use and safety procedures.BASIC SAFETY RULES1.
NEVER POINT A FIREARM AT SOMETHING THAT IS NOT SAFE TO SHOOT.1. Never let the muzzle of afirearm point at any part ofyour body or at anotherperson. This is especiallyimportant when loading orunloading the firearm.When you are shooting ata target, know what isbehind it. Some bullets cantravel over a mile. If youmiss your target or if thebullet penetrates thetarget, it is yourresponsibility to ensure that the shot does not cause unintended injury or damage.2. ALWAYS TREAT A FIREARM AS IF IT WERELOADED.2.
Never assume that a firearm is unloaded. Theonly certain way to ensure that a firearm isempty is to open the chamber and visuallyexamine the inside to see if a round is present.Removing the magazine will not guarantee thata pistol is unloaded or cannot fire.Shotgunsand rifles can be checked by cycling or removingall rounds and by then opening the chamber sothat a visual inspection of the chamber for anyremaining rounds can be made. AVOID ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES ORJUDGMENT OR REFLEX IMPAIRINGMEDICATION WHEN SHOOTING.10. Do not drink and shoot. If you take medication thatcan impair motor reactions or judgment, do nothandle a firearm while you are under the influence ofthe medication.11.
NEVER TRANSPORT A LOADED FIREARM.11. Unload a firearm before putting it in a vehicle.Hunters and target shooters should load theirfirearm only at their destination. If you carry afirearm for self-protection, leaving the chamberunloaded can reduce the chance of accidentaldischarge.12. LEAD WARNING.11. Discharging firearms in poorly ventilated areas, cleaning firearms, or handlingammunition may result in exposure to lead and other substances known to causebirth defects, reproductive harm, and other serious physical injury.Haveadequate ventilation at all times.Wash hands thoroughly after exposure.6. PROPERLY MAINTAIN YOUR FIREARM.6. Store and carry your firearm so that dirt or lint does notaccumulate in the working parts.
Clean and oil yourfirearm, following the instructions provided in thismanual, after each use to prevent corrosion, damageto the barrel or accumulation of impurities which canprevent use of the gun in an emergency. Alwayscheck the barrel prior to loading to ensure that it isclean and free from obstructions. Firing against anobstruction can rupture the barrel and injureyourself or others nearby. In case you hear anunusual noise when shooting, stop firing immediately,ingage the manual safety and unload the firearm.Make sure the chamber is free from any obstruction orpossible bullet blocked inside the barrel due todefective or improper ammunition.7.
USE PROPER AMMUNITION.7. Only use factory-loaded, new ammunition manufactured to industry specifications:CIP (Europe and elsewhere), SAAMI (U.S.A.). Be certain that each round you useis in the proper caliber or gauge and type for the particular firearm. The caliber orgauge of the firearm is clearly marked on the barrels of shotguns and on the slideor barrel of pistols. The use of reloaded or remanufactured ammunition canincrease the likelihood of excessive cartridge pressures, casehead ruptures orother defects in the ammunition which can cause damage to your firearm andinjury to yourself or others nearby.8.
ALWAYS WEAR PROTECTIVE GLASSES AND EARPLUGS WHENSHOOTING.8. The chance that gas, gunpowder or metal fragmentswill blow back and injure a shooter who is firing a gunis rare, but the injury that can be sustained in suchcircumstances is severe, including the possible loss ofeyesight.
A shooter must always wear impact resistantshooting glasses when firing any firearm. Earplugshelp reduce the chance of hearing damage fromshooting.9. NEVER CLIMB A TREE, FENCE OROBSTRUCTION WITH A LOADED FIREARM.9. Open and empty the chamber of your firearm beforeclimbing or descending a tree or before climbing afence or jumping over a ditch or obstruction. Neverpull or push a loaded firearm toward yourself oranother person. THE COMPLETE SAFETY SYSTEM Fig. 1Beretta Cougar semi-automatic pistols, available in many high-power calibers, use abrilliant adaptation of a proven locked-breech system with rotating barrel.
Thecompact dimensions make the Beretta Cougar pistols easy to conceal and operate.DESCRIPTIONA. The Cougar series pistols employ a short recoil locked-breech system, simpleand practical, based on the secure lock of the slide to the barrel. The barrellocking and unlocking rotation is caused by its axial movement through thedouble cam acting on the central block tooth.A. This locking system has required a closed-slide design thus breaking thetradition of the open-slide design going back to the early Beretta semi-automaticpistols.CHARACTERISTICSA. THE LOCKING SYSTEMFig. The double actionoffers the advantages of the revolver.
In the rare instance ofmisfire due to a faulty primer, it is sufficient to pull the trigger again to repeat thepercussion on the cartridge and fire the round.B. THE DOUBLE ACTIONFig. The staggered magazine, of the same length as a traditional single linemagazine, allows greater fire capacity (see technical data on page 33).C. THE GREAT FIRE CAPACITYFig. Automatic firing pin safety:when the trigger is not pulled completelyback, a blocking device secures the firing pin and prevents it from movingforward, even if the weapon should fall from a height and strike the groundmuzzle-down.D.

It is advisable topay attention to the following points:lThe central block should be assembled with its thinner barrel bearing surfacetowards the muzzle (the marked arrow pointing towards the muzzle).lThe recoil spring guide and the spring should be assembled with its flat headtowards the muzzle and inserted in the apposite hole of the slide.The following assembly procedure is suggested:lKeeping the slide in the left hand, sights down, using the right hand insert thebarrel, double cam upward, into the slide tilting it slightly at first (Fig. 18).lPush the barrel against the slide head rotating it axially in a way that the lockinglugs lodge in the recesses of the slide (Fig. 19).lPlace the central block (with recoil spring guide and spring) on the barrel so that thetooth engages the double cam of the barrel and keep the central block pushedrearward with the thumb of the left hand (Fig. 20).lSlide the spring guide towards the muzzle to engage its head in the seat of the slide(Fig. 21).lKeeping the central block and the recoil spring with guide in position with the thumbof the left hand, rotate axially 180° the group and reinsert the frame guides in theslide rails (Fig. 22).lPush the slide about 5 mm beyond the rear end of frame forcing the recoil spring tocompress (Fig.

Always store your firearms securely and unloaded, separate fromammunition. (See point 3 of the BASIC SAFETY RULES).WARNING:Make sure the pistol is unloaded.
I got my first O/U shotgun, a like new LH Beretta 692. It seems like it will be a lot easier to maintain than my 1187.
Help me make sure I clean and maintain it properly. I shot a few boxes through it the day I got it and cleaned it. I used a brass bore brush through the barrels with CLP. Then used patches to clean the residue out. I also put choke tube lube on the choke threads. I wiped down the action as well as the machined sides on the barrel and applied some CLP.
I wiped down the breech face and cavity but did't add a lot of CLP beside a bit that was on the mircofiber.Today I bought some Pro-Shot Pro-Gold lubricant in a syringe to grease the wear surface. I'm not sure exactly where to apply and when to apply. Seems if I put it on before I place it in my break down case the grease will get all over the 'fur'. Even if I put a very light coating it seems it could make the case pretty dirty soon. Do you guys put it on during cleaning or while you're assembling your gun to shoot?Anything else I need to do. Seems like I read you don't do much with the trigger but need to make sure.
Anywhere you have metal to metal contact you lightly lube as showed above.Just remember after every session to wipe grease off and apply new as you don't want any powder residue acting as a abrasive.do that n you'll be good for tens of thousands of rounds.you'd be surprised how many shooters don't take a few seconds to do that, and then complain they're gun was shot out after a few thousand rounds. And blame it in gunmaker.enjoy.beretta 68X series guns are as good as they get. Thanks for the pictures, they help a lot.
The receiver is very close to mine, the barrel is a bit different but close enough to give me an idea.Do you guys just grease/lube it up while you're putting it together before shooting or after cleaning before storing it?I may order some RGS bore stripper to keep the bore clean. I like CLP for general cleaning and wiping down but it doesn't seem to do too good with plastic wad residue, I seem to have a faint bit of wad residue in the bore after my first cleaning that CLP doesn't seem to want to take off. Rem-oil, or as the factory recommends, Beretta oil and skip the grease. Grease just attracts grit and makes a mess in the gun case.
Maybe cause unneeded wear.Any good solvent will clean up the barrels. Don't use Hoppes it say's right on the bottle it may harm nickel.(Maybe the 692 receiver isn't nickel like a 687?)Use BoeSheild or Barricade for light lube and rust prevention on all the metal (and on the vented ribs) after the clean-up or while in the safe.Read the manual, If oil is what Beretta recommends, who am I (or anyone here) to argue the point.I usually just run a bore snake through the barrel and wipe it down after shooting. I clean it up more thoroughly every few times I shoot.Good luck with your new gun. Congratulations on your 692. One of the reasons I've shot Berettas over the years is they seem to have some appreciation for us lefty's.
A light coat of good grease, replaced often, on all the sliding/rubbing surfaces will make it last. My current favorites are Super Lube and Lucas Red and Tacky, but it doesn't seem to make all that much difference.The only thing I'd add to the above is I put just a wee bit in the bottom of each locking recess on the barrels and rub a light coat on the breech face.
After you close the gun wipe off all excess. If you store the gun assembled, muzzle down keeps any lubricants from migrating into your buttstock. Remember, a little is good a lot is not.Enjoy!
