REASSEMBLY
Assemble the pistol following the Field Strip procedure in
reverse order. It is advisable to pay attention to the following
points.
• Engage the manual safety (Model FS only) (
Fig. 6a / 6b
).
• When the barrel and locking block assembly are correctly
inserted into the slide, they should rest securely inside the
slide without movement. (The extractor must lie in its groove in
the barrel).
• The locking block lugs should rest firmly in their seats in the
slide (the locking block plunger should protrude from the
barrel) (
Fig. 20
).
• Insert the recoil spring guide in its housing in the slide hole as
shown in
Fig. 21, 22
and
23.
• The recoil spring guide head (flat part) should lodge in the
center of its groove in the locking block (
Fig. 24
).
• When the slide and barrel assembly are placed back on the
frame, the slide/barrel assembly should be aligned with the
frame or pushed beyond the rear of it (
Fig. 25
) to allow the
disassembly latch to rotate and return to its original position
(with the disassembly latch lever parallel to the slide). Please
make sure that the disassembly latch lever is parallel to the
slide. If not, by retracting the slide as indicated, manually rotate
the disassembly latch to allow it to return to its original position.
• Retract the slide to check the correct assembly operation.
• Decock the hammer.
- by operating the manual safety/hammer decocking lever
(model FS)
- by operating the hammer decocking lever (model
G). The
lever returns automatically to the ready to fire position.
