Detail Strip:

6. On the 22 version, use a small screwdriver to put out the shaped head of the extractor pivot, releasing the extractor and its spring. The 25-caliber version has a vertical roll pin for an extractor pivot, and this is driven straight downward to remove.

7. The firing pin on the 22 version is retained by a slanting cross-pin, its outer head visible here on the left rear of the slide.

8. After removing the grip panels, cock the hammer and insert a small tool into the hole on the left side of the frame, just below the rear tip of the trigger bar. Restrain the hammer, pull the trigger to release it, and let it down slowly. If the tool has been inserted to the proper length, the hammer spring and plunger will be trapped in the frame and tension on the hammer relieved. The hammer pivot can be drifted out the right and the hammer removed from the top of the frame. Note that the right end of the hammer pivot pin is also the base for the slide hold-open spring, and this spring can also be removed in this operation. To remove the mainspring and plunger, insert a tool into the top of the frame to bear firmly on the plunger, depress it slightly, and remove the keeper tool from the hole on the left side. CAUTION:The spring is under tension. Use care, and ease the spring and plunger out for removal toward the top of the frame.

9. With the safety-lever in the off-safe position, remove it by simply pushing it toward the left side and taking it out of the frame. CAUTION:As the safety is taken out, its spring and plunger will be released from a vertical hole in the top right of the frame. Hold a fingertip over the hole to restrain them, as shown, then remove them from the frame.

10. With a small screwdriver, pry out the pin at the lower rear of the trigger and remove it toward the left. This will release the magazine safety and its spring to be removed to the rear, into the magazine well.

11. If the hammer pivot has not been removed, pry the slide hold-open spring out and down, and detach it from the hold-open block toward the rear. The spring retains the block, and the block can now be slid straight up and out of the frame.

12. The small cross-pin at the lower rear of the grip frame is the limit pin for the magazine latch. It is visible here within the lanyard loop, and its location makes driving it completely out toward the right impossible. Fortunately, it has an enlarged head on the right side, and it is only necessary to start it with a punch. It can then be pried out and removed with the fingers on the right side. The larger pin retains the magazine catch and grip safety. Drift it out to the right and remove the catch and grip safety downward.

13. After the hammer has been removed, only the stop at the rear tip of the trigger bar keeps the sear and sear spring in the frame. Pull the trigger bar downward and slide the sear forward into the magazine well, along with the small coil spring behind it.

14. After the safety-lever has been removed, the trigger pin can be pried out toward the left, and the trigger and trigger bar moved to the rear for removal. It will be necessary to spring the trigger bar slightly out (toward the left) to clear the side of the frame as the trigger assembly is moved to the rear. When the trigger is out of the gun, the small pin at the lower rear of the trigger can be drifted out to free the trigger bar. CAUTION:This will also free the plunger and spring from inside the trigger, and the spring is under compression. Restrain them from escape, and ease them out.
