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 (See Figure 5).
3. Cock the hammer. Insert disassembly pin
about one half its length into the hole at the
rear of the mainspring strut. 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
frame at rear of trigger guard. Simultaneously pull down and remove trigger
guard assembly (See Figures 7 & 8).
