Figure C
Pull back the slide (4) slightly to disengage the slide catch lever (18). Hold
the slide firmly and allow it to glide forward gently. Now slip the complete
assembly, comprising slide (4), barrel (1), recoil spring and guide, forward
and off the frame (15).
Figure D
Remove the recoil spring (3) and guide (2), taking care to control the release
of spring tension while pointing the assembly away from your body and in a
safe direction.
Figure E
Remove the barrel (1) from the slide (4).
The field stripped pistol is shown in Figure F. Field stripping is quite
sufficient to allow cleaning after shooting. Further dismantling is a job for
qualified gunsmiths and armorers only.
