DISASSEMBLY
Read instructions before disassembling a gun.
1. BE CERTAIN THE REVOLVER IS UNLOADED BEFORE DISASSEMBLY.
2. Using a properly fitting screwdriver,
remove grip screw. Remove pistol grip
inserts from grips. Grip panel locator may
then be removed. Pull grip downward off
frame. Take care not to lose the disassembly
pin, which may fall free when the grip is
removed.
3. Cock the hammer. Insert disassembly pin
about one half its length into the hole at the
rear of the mainspring strut (See Figure 5).
Lacking a disassembly pin, any similar instrument will serve.
4. With thumb on hammer spur, squeeze trigger allowing hammer to go fully
forward. Lift out mainspring assembly. CAUTION: Do not remove the
disassembly pin until the mainspring
assembly is reinstalled in the revolver at the
time of reassembly. Doing so will permit the
mainspring to fly off its strut with great
force and may cause injury.
5. Pull trigger and remove hammer pivot while
holding trigger in a rearward position. Lift
hammer out of the top of the frame while
trigger is held in a rearward position (See
Figure 6).

6. Use mainspring assembly to depress trigger guard lock plunger located inside

guard assembly (See Figures 7 & 8).
