Changing the Back Strap Inserts
Each pistol is supplied with a set of changeable back strap inserts, which enables the
rear part of the grip to be adjusted according to the individual needs of the user. In order to
change the back strap inserts it is necessary to remove the main spring plug pin. To avoid
injuries be very careful when removing the pin as it secures the main spring plug as well as
the compressed main spring. Entrust the task to a gunsmith.
MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
Stripping for Cleaning - Disassembly
POINT YOUR PISTOL IN A SAFE DIRECTION!
1. Remove the magazine. The pistol must not be disassembled with the magazine
inserted!
2. Put the safety to "OFF" position, in order to release the movement of the slide.
3. MAKE SURE THAT THERE IS NO CARTRIDGE IN THE CHAMBER!
4. Retract the hammer slightly back and then release it, until it stops on half-cock (safety)
notch position. In this state the handling which follows will be easier.
5. Put your left thumb through the trigger guard and with the other fingers grasp the top of
the front part of the slide firmly.
6. Push the slide slightly rearwards until the rear of the slide is against the retracted
hammer and the guidelines on the frame and the slide are in line.
7. Push (tap) the slide stop from the right hand side of the weapon, i.e. using the magazine
base (Fig. 8). Remove the slide stop from the left.
8. Pull the slide and the barrel forward off the frame.
9. Remove the recoil spring and finally the barrel.
No further disassembly is needed for routine maintenance. When a great number of
cartridges has been fired, it is advisable to also disassemble magazine and to entrust the pistol
to a competent gunsmith for the firing pin cleaning.
Magazine Disassembly
There is a difference depending on the magazine design. If there is a hole in the
magazine base, push the base lock through the hole and slide the base slightly forward. If the
rear part of the magazine is fitted with a sliding base lock, move it into disassembly position
and slide the base slightly forward. Cover the base with your thumb to hold the spring and use
the other hand to slide the base completely out of its guiding rails. Be careful during the
disassembly as the spring could fly out, or even cause an injury.
