DISASSEMBLY Please be absolutely sure that your pistol is UNLOADED before beginning the field stripping procedure. If you need information on unloading your pistol, please see our online Owners Manual by clicking here. Unloading instructions are on PAGE 13 of the Owners Manual.
1) Once you are certain that the gun is unloaded, retract the slide and insert a cartridge, bullet end facing down, in the open space between the slide and frame as shown in the diagram above. Release slide. (Magazine may have to be reinserted to allow sufficient slide movement). 2) Insert a pin into the slide hole indicated by arrow b in Figure 7 above and depress a spring loaded slide retainer plunger situated in the frame at the hole area. 3) Simultaneous with Step 2, lift the slide up at the rear as indicated by arrow c in the diagram above. 4) Holding the rear of the slide upwardly, move the slide forward to separate it from the frame. REASSEMBLY
1) Draw back the hammer slightly so it engages the draw bar. Release hammer. 2) Position the slide as shown in Figure 8 above. Double end of recoil spring assembly goes into frame. 3) With empty magazine in gun and empty chamber, pull trigger slightly to cock hammer out of way of projected slide path. Hold draw bar down against trigger until slide captures bar. 4) Pull upwardly and rearwardly on the back of the slide until the slide clears the frame. Then pivot the rear of the slide downwardly. 5) When the slide touches the slide retainer plunger indicated by arrow C in the diagram above, release the trigger - continuing to press downwardly at the rear of the slide. 6) Depress the slide retainer plunger at arrow C to allow the slide's movement past said retainer plunger. 7) Exerting downward pressure at the rear of the slide, wiggle the slide frontward and backward to lock the slide into place. 8) Pull up on the rear of the slide to ensure that it is indeed locked in place.
