Point the pistol in a safe direction. Make sure your finger is
off the trigger and out of the trigger guard. Depress the
magazine release, and remove the magazine. (Figure 12)
With the barrel still pointing in a safe direction, and with your
finger off the trigger and outside the trigger guard, grasp the
serrated sides of the slide from the rear with the thumb and
fingers (Figure 13) while holding the firearm in an upright
position, and briskly draw the slide fully rearward in order to
extract any cartridge from the barrel chamber and clear it
from the pistol.
Pull the slide fully to the rear, press upward on the slide stop
while letting the slide move slightly forward thereby locking
the slide open. (Figure 14)
Make certain that the chamber is clear. (Figure 13)
To access the frame tool, rotate it 1/4 turn (either direction)
and pull out of the frame. (Figure 15)
Use the frame tool provided (or a similar device) to lower
the sear deactivation lever into the magazine well.
(Figure 16A and B)
Rotate and hold the take down lever clockwise. (Figure 17)
Grasp the slide from the top, in front of the rear sight and
remove the slide by pulling it slightly rearward then forward
while being careful to retain the recoil spring and guide rod
assembly. (Figure 18)
Remove the recoil spring and barrel from the bottom of the
slide. (Figure 19)
