10. Make sure you can see the end of the hammer strut when you lift the

housing up (See Figure 10A). The hammer strut should go into the oval-shaped

cut inside the mainspring housing. Spring pressure should be felt just before the

housing is fully shut if the internal parts are correctly aligned (See Figure 10B).

11. The housing latch can now be snapped shut,

completing reassembly. To determine if

reassembly is correct, pull bolt back, It should

open fully. If not, open latch, remove

mainspring housing, and repeat steps 6-10

above.

12. Replace magazine, point pistol in a safe direction, and pull trigger to uncock

gun. Guns should not be stored loaded or cocked!

IF YOU HAVE DIFFICULTY REASSEMBLING THE PISTOL,

HERE ARE SOME HELPFUL TIPS!

If the hammer strut does not contact the plunger inside the mainspring

housing as it is swung shut, it will either be impossible to close the housing, or

the housing will close but the bolt cannot be fully opened without binding.

Make sure strut is free, hammer is uncocked, and repeat steps 6-11, above.

If the mainspring housing pulls out of the gun when swung in, the barrel/

receiver assembly is not fully rearward on the frame. Repeat step 3, above.

Remember that it is essential that the hammer must be in its vertical,

uncocked, position as the mainspring housing is swung shut. If the housing is

excessively difficult to close, the hammer is probably cocked. Repeat steps 7-12,

above.

The foregoing may give the impression that reassembly is difficult, but it is

quickly and easily done once properly learned.
