Re: Morning from Miami
Welcome to the fun
Pull the butt stock, flush with non-chlorinated brake cleaner, lubricate, work several hundred times, flush again, lube and shoot it. They're a bundle of parts flying in close proximity and need to seat to play nice together. Also not a bad idea to flush out the mag tube as well. Lots and lots of detailed instruction here on the site.

You've very impressive taste in firearms, for your first purchase. A 125 year old design, by Americas foremost designer. Enjoy your 92. It's a fun piece, and in .357, a great caliber for range sessions.

Hi from down under.
Everyone's told you about the initial clean so I'll give you the advice I give to most people when purchasing their first firearm.
Buy/reload as much ammo as you can and go shooting. Try a number of different distances to get a good feel of your sights.

Re: Morning from Miami
I have that same one, and it's a fun little rifle.
if you reload 7grs of herco or BE-86 under a 158gr rnfp in 357 cases seems just right in mine.
now I need to run across one with the 24" barrel.
a good flush like the others mentioned is a good idea, a little lube in the right places helps a lot too.
the shooting to break it in and smooth things out seems to take care of itself.
