Disassembly
Unload your P-3AT. While holding the slide back, pull the assembly pin from the pistol.
Push the barrel back. While holding the slide, slowly let it move forward off the frame.
Remove the recoil spring and barrel. No further disassembly is recommended. Do not
rotate the firing pin screw, it is factory adjusted.
Assembly
Make certain that the barrel and recoil springs are well centered when putting them
back in the slide. Push the slide onto the frame, and while holding the slide back, allow
the barrel to slide forward. Look into the assembly pin hole and align that hole with the
cut in the barrel. Insert the assembly pin at a slight angle in order to push spring down,
and then push the pin completely in. Work the slide a few times to check the action.
Do not dry fire your P-3AT. As with any gun, dry firing should be avoided.
