rotate it downward until it is parallel to the top of the frame. Ensure that the tab on the
lever is engaged in the recess cutout in the frame and that the lever is them pushed into
the frame and rotated downward approximately 45°.
2. Position the barrel in the slide so that:
• The muz zle of the bar rel fits in the hole in the front of the slide.
• The lock ing block por tion of the bar rel fits with in the ejec tion port and the an gled
lock ing sur fac es of the lock ing block are vis i ble along the bot tom of the slide.
3. Install the recoil spring assembly into the slide so the front of the recoil spring guide rod
engages in the small hole provided in the front of the slide.

over the hole where the axle of the slide release will go and hold it there.
11. Insert the slide release from left to right into the frame until it is flush with the side of
the frame.
