engage a like notch on the side of the slide and hold the slide
mmovable in this position. Then, holding the pistol in the left hand
pointing towards the right, turn the barrel about one quarter turn
to the right, at which time the barrel will be loosened from the
frame and can be drawn forward. Then, give the barrel another
quarter turn to the left. at which time it can be removed entirely
from the slide, Figure 8. Then, by releasing the tumb safety the
slide can be allowed to move forward and removed from the frame.
Thus, the pistol is disassembled with a minimum number of parts to
account for: Slide, barrel, recoil spring assembly, :he frame and the
magazine. With the pieces so separated it is possible to thoroughly
clean the pistol without further disassembly.
Total disassembly of the parts can be realized as follows:
PARTS OF THE SLIDE
Removal of the retaining pin, located vertically on the high part of the
slide to the rear and to the left of the loading port, releasse the firing
pin and the firing pin spring. Removal of the headed retaining pin
hich is found in the interior on the underside of the slide directly
behind the loading port,'permits simple separation of the extractor
and the extractor spring.
PARTS OF THE FRAME
- Kernove"'lrst -with Th~ prop~l='"cw drlv'J"'rt~.tt'
the grips to the frame, after which the grips can be very simply re-
moved. The thumb safety is easily removed by placing it in a horizontal
position to the rear, at which time the piece can be lifted from the
frame. By removing the retaining pin for the magazine safety this
piece can be easily removed, along with its spring. If you remove
the trigger axis pin and raise the trigger bar it is possible to remove
from the frame the trIgger and trigger bar assembly simply by drawing
it carefully to the rear. By inserting one or another of the axis pins
in the small hole directly above and slightly to the rear of the grip
screw hole on the left hand side of the frame, it is possible to retain
the hammer spring, after which the hammer can be released by pres-
sing on the sear. The hammer ISthen free of the tensIon of the hammer
spring and the hammer axis pin can be easily removed, possibly with
the use of another axis pin, at which time the hammer itself is easily'
separated from the frame.
It is then a simple process to remove the aXIS pin which retains the
sear, after which the sear and sear spring are also removed from the
frame. Finally, the pin which has been inserted to provisionally retain
the hammer spring can be removed, thus releasing the hammer spring
and the hammer spring guide. Note that the magazine catch has a
screw driver slot. It is necessary only to insert a screw driver and
unscrew the catch. The catch and spring are then easily removed
from the other side of the frame. Then the catch retaining plate is
easily removed.

For reassembling the pistol. tirst replace tne hammer spring with
its hammer spring guide and using a long, thin pin punch, or similar,
tool, press the spring down until a retaining pin of one type or another
can be reinserted in the same hole which was used to retain, the
hammer spring for disassembly. Then. put the hammer in place,
being sure that the hammer strut is resting on the spring guide.
After lining up the axis hole with the pin, with the proper hole in
the fra,!,e, it is possible then to insert the hammer axis pin.
The sear is next to be assembled by putting it in its proper place and
inserting the sear retaining pin. After the sear an:t hammer are in
place, draw back the hammer to engage the sear on the first hammer
notch. Holding the sear spring by its longest part it is possible to
introduce the assembly into its place on the frame. With a long thin
tool, holding the assembly in place, it is possible to locate the trigger
axis hole. at which time the trigger retaining pin is inserted. The
magazine safety and magazine safety spring are next inserted. with
the safety itself being held in posrtlon by the finger and the retaining
pin hole lined up with the proper retaining pin hole of the frame,
at which time the magazine safety retaining pin is inserted to hold
the part in its proper position.
The thumb safety is then inserted with the body of the safety to the
rear. The magazine catch is then inserted in its proper position and
its retaining pin installed. Place the magazine catch retaining pin in
position, then from the other side of the frame insert the magazine
catch with its spring in place and tighten with screw driver. The grips
are then placed in position and the proper grip screws employed
with a screw driver.
