Manual

NOTE: If you cannot supply sufficient force to the plunger using the mainspring

assembly as a “tool”, then use a screwdriver of appropriate size and insert

through hole in frame. It may be necessary to slightly depress the trigger while

removing the trigger guard assembly.

7. Cradle the revolver frame in your left hand and with the thumb of your right

hand press cylinder latch button, swing out cylinder assembly and remove it

forward from the frame.

8. Further disassembly is not essential for normal cleaning purposes. Any further

disassembly should only be undertaken by factory service personnel.

REASSEMBLY

AGAIN, BE CERTAIN REVOLVER IS UNLOADED!

Before starting reassembly, be certain that all components and the inside of the

frame are thoroughly clean. In particular the tongue on the front of the trigger

guard and its mating recess in the frame must be completely clean.

1. Replace cylinder and crane assembly in frame and close cylinder.

2. Hook front of trigger guard into recess in

frame (See Figure 7). Align pawl in its recess

in the frame and be sure transfer bar is in

correct position in rear of firing pin. Swing

trigger guard upward into position in frame

then allow latch to re-engage. If solid

resistance is felt when swinging trigger guard

into frame, or if trigger guard will not lock

into position re-check position of pawl and

transfer bar (See Figure 9).

NOTE: At this point in reassembly trigger should function to rotate and lock the

cylinder. Pull the trigger a few times, to check proper functioning, as always

with the revolver pointed in a safe direction.

3. Hold trigger in its rearward position and insert hammer into frame. Install

hammer pivot. Release trigger and permit hammer to go fully forward.

4. With hammer forward, insert mainspring assembly into frame. Position the

two ends of notch in the mainspring seat onto the matching projections of the

grip frame. (Note: The large notch in the mainspring seat should be forward to

allow clearance for the grip screw.) Hold mainspring assembly in position and

cock hammer. It may be necessary to move the mainspring assembly a little to

properly position the upper end of the mainspring strut to rest in recess in the

hammer. When the hammer is cocked, disassembly pin can be removed (It will

fall free).

5. Squeeze trigger and ease hammer down. Put the disassembly pin in its “nest.”

Push grip upward onto the frame, install grip panel locator and place pistol

inserts into position. Install and tighten grip panel screw.

6. Open and close cylinder. Function the trigger and hammer single action and

double action to be certain that all parts are working properly.
