To remove safety catch (27), push up as far as it will go and it will snap out. To replace safety, push it in as far as it will go, then snap it down to fire position. Be sure sear (18) is pivoted clear before pushing safety all the way in.

If gun is disassembled further, entire sear mechanism can be easily checked by removing the grips and pushing out grip safety hinge pin (29). When replacing mainspring (15), be sure tail is engaged in corresponding notch in magazine catch (14) as shown.

When reassembling gun, insert barrel into slide until barrel lugs line up with cut in slide. Then rotate barrel as far as it can go. It is now in position to allow slide to be assembled to frame.
