ASSEMBLY Assemble following the Field Stripping procedure in reverse order. It is advisable to pay attention to the following points: • Engage safety • The barrel should rest perfectly flush against the slide (the extractor must lodge in its groove in the barrel) • The locking block lugs should rest in their housing (the locking block plunger should protrude from the barrel base). • The recoil spring guide head should lodge in the center of its groove in the locking block. • When rotating disassembling latch, the slide should be in the closed position (aligned with or beyond the rear side of frame). Target and Competition Conversion Kit models To assemble the counterweight sleeve (with barrel assembled to slide): • Check that the barrel-counterweight spacer is placed in position • Insert the counterweight sleeve on the barrel and screw the locking screw to the end with the Allen key of the multiple spanner supplied, taking care that the counterweight sleeve is aligned with the slide. • Screw on the ring nut and lock it using the multiple spanner supplied. HOW TO ASSEMBLE THE ADJUSTABLE REAR SIGHT COMPETITION CONVERSION KIT MODELS This operation should be carried out by a gunsmith. • With a suitable hammer and the aluminum plate supplied push the fixed sight out of the slide slot (operating from the right to the left side of the slide) • Insert the dovetail base of the adjustable rear sight into the slide slot (from the left to the right side of the slide). Caution: The slide lock slot is conical. Respect the right way of extraction and insertion of the rear sight. • When the adjustable rear sight base is centered in the slide, lock it in position screwing the two dowels to the end, without forcing, using the Allen key supplied. NOTE: To approach the dowels, it is necessary first to unscrew to the end the upper rear sight screw. Be careful not to lose the springs. 17 ADJUSTING THE REAR SIGHT Target and Competition Conversion Kit models.

Proceed one sector (click of the screw) at a time so that the finest adjustment is obtained. • To lower the point of impact, proceed in reverse. ADJUSTMENT FOR WINDAGE • To move the point of impact on target to the right, turn the side screw clockwise following the arrow marked on the right side of sight. Proceed one sector (click of the screw) at a time so that the finest adjustment is obtained. • To move the point of impact to the left, proceed in reverse. HOW TO REVERSE THE MAGAZINE RELEASE BUTTON (FOR LEFT-HANDED SHOOTERS) (Not possible on the Type M versions) This operation should be carried out by a gunsmith. • With a suitable screwdriver unscrew and remove the grips. • Press the back (flat side) of the magazine release button down and away.
