Answer 2

First, ALWAYS clear the weapon by removing the magazine, rack the slide, inspect the chamber for presence of a cartridge.

1) The first step in disassembly is to allow the slide to travel forward by depressing the slide stop.

2) With the pistol in the right hand and the muzzle slightly elevated, use the left hand to depress the disassembly lever release button and rotate the disassembly lever downward until it stops.

3) Pull the slide and barrel assembly forward and remove.

4) Compress the recoil spring and spring guide, and lift and remove it from the slide and barrel.

5) Separate the recoil spring from the spring guide.

6) Push in on the locking block plunger while pushing the barrel forward slightly. Lift and remove the locking/barrel assembly from the slide.
