Manual

1. Remove the magazine from the pistol. (See Illustrations #12 - #13.)
2. Move the safety lever to the "FIRE" position by rotating the safety lever downward.
3. Check the pistol's chamber to ensure it does not contain a round by pulling back on the
bolt cocking handle (See Illustration #11) and locking it in place with the bolt catch on the
safety lever. Inspect the chamber to ensure it is empty. Once you determine the chamber
is empty and no magazine is in the pistol, push down on the safety lever and let the bolt
go forward.
4. While maintaining a safe muzzle direction, raise the receiver cover by holding the pistol in a
secure position (across your lap, resting on a table, etc.) and grasping the rear part of the
receiver with your right hand, depress the spring
loaded release button on the rear of the receiver.
While holding the button, press the recoil spring
cam forward. Then raise the receiver cover from
the back end first with your left hand.
(See Illustration #14.)
5. Remove the recoil spring assembly from the pistol
by holding the forward portion of the receiver with
your left hand and pressing on the back of the recoil
spring cam with your right hand until its rear face
leaves the groove in the rear of the receiver. Lift the
recoil spring cam and remove the recoil spring
assembly from the bolt carrier channel.
(See Illustration #15.) NOTE: The recoil spring
assembly is under spring pressure. Hold on
to the assembly when removing it or injury
could result.

WARNING! Wear eye protection, such as shooting glasses or goggles, when
disassembling your firearm to protect your eyes from tensioned parts, such as
springs that could be dislodged during disassembly.
Spring loaded release button.
WARNING! The pistol will fire if the magazine is removed and if the trigger is
pulled when a cartridge is in the chamber.
WARNING! If dropped, any firearm could fire when there is a cartridge in the
chamber and the safety lever is in the "FIRE" position.
Field Stripping
WARNING!
Before beginning the disassembly process, check to ensure the pistol
is not loaded. To do so, follow the procedures detailed in the Unloading the
Pistol section on page 9.
4. In the event that a cartridge remains in the chamber after pulling the trigger and the extractor
fails to remove it (whether or not it has fired), you should remove the magazine, then work the
bolt cocking handle several times to try to eject the cartridge. If this does not eject the cartridge,
ride the bolt cocking handle home (slowly allow it to return to its forward position without
allowing it to impact the back of the cartridge casing). Follow the instructions found on this
page to field strip your pistol before attempting to remove the cartridge. If after field stripping
your pistol you are still unable to remove the cartridge casing, do not reassemble the pistol.
Take the pistol to a competent gunsmith to remove the round and ensure proper functioning.
