Field Strip:

1. With the magazine removed, turn the safety lever up to on-safe position and pull the slide back until it locks open. Push the barrel rearward and lift it at the rear for removal. A very tight barrel may require a light tap with a non-marring tool to start it.

2. Restrain the slide, turn the safety down to off-safe position, and ease the slide forward until it is even with the frame at the rear. Depress the grip safety and pull the trigger to drop the striker to fired position. The cocked indicator will disappear from its aperture at the rear.

3. Move the slide assembly off the frame forward, and remove the recoil spring and its guide.

4. Remove the striker assembly from the slide. The striker spring is easily detached. Late versions will also have a small hollow sleeve/guide at the rear tip of the spring.
