MAGAZINE NOMENCLATURE

MAGAZINE DISASSEMBLY

TO DISASSEMBLE MAGAZINE: Withdraw magazine from pistol and remove all

cartridges (Check chamber to be certain no cartridge remains in it). Hold

magazine upside down in left hand so that the hole in the Magazine Block is

accessible.

1. With right hand, insert drift punch in hole and depress Magazine Block

Retaining Plunger approximately 1/4".

2. Slide Magazine Block forward slowly BEING VERY CAREFUL TO KEEP

PLUNGER AND SPRING UNDER CONTROL. If not contained, these parts will fly

out with considerable force. Therefore keep bottom end of magazine pointed

away from persons and objects.

3. With the Magazine Block fully removed, the Plunger and Spring should be

slowly withdrawn.

4. Now, holding magazine flat in left hand, align the Magazine Follower Button

with circular opening near the lower end of magazine body and lift out the

Magazine Follower Button.

5. The Magazine Follower can then be removed.

Assemble in reverse order, being careful to contain the Spring and Plunger as the

Magazine Bottom is slid and locked into place. After reassembly has been

completed, test Magazine Follower to ensure it has free movement.

Always ‘ride’ the Magazine Follower Button up and down with your thumb.

Do not lower Follower Button and then permit it to snap up.
