Captive Reverse Plug Removal from Slide Assembly

1. Push the captive reverse plug from the muzzle end of the slide

assembly far enough back to be able to grasp the reverse plug and

remove it from the slide assembly.

TIP: The reverse plug may sometimes be seated firmly, requiring

assistance from a light hammer and punch tool to release it from the slide

assembly. Tap lightly with the hammer and punch from the muzzle end

of the slide.

Barrel Removal

1. Hold the slide assembly

upside down and rotate the

barrel link to the forward

position.

Note: The barrel cannot be

removed from the slide

assembly without the barrel

link in the forward position.

Always do this procedure before attempting to remove the barrel, to

prevent damage to the slide.

2. Continue holding the slide assembly upside down. Gently lift the

barrel with a finger through the ejection port and slide the barrel out

of the muzzle end.
