SIGHT ADJUSTMENTS

The rear sight in Target models is adjustable for
elevation and windage.

Elevation: To adjust your sight picture “UP”, screw
the elevation screw counter-clockwise. This will
raise the rear sight blade and raise your point of
impact on the target. Turning the elevation screw
clockwise will lower the sight blade and your point
of impact on your target.

Windage: To adjust your point of impact to the
“RIGHT”, screw the windage nut clockwise moving
the sight blade to the right. To adjust your point of
impact to the “LEFT”, screw the windage nut
counter-clockwise moving the sight blade to the
left. Make a positive movement of the blade until
you are close to your desired point of impact then
fine tune the clicks.

DISASSEMBLY (FIELD STRIPPING)

This product should be cleaned after every use and
when exposed to dirt, sand, etc. When not in use,
clean at least twice per year.

1. With the pistol unloaded, the magazine

removed and the hammer down, depress the
recoil spring plug, with the supplied wrench,
and turn the barrel bushing clockwise,
towards the right side of the pistol until the
recoil spring plug and recoil spring are free.

Be

careful, the recoil spring and plug are under
tension and can fly out with substantial force.

2. Ease out recoil spring and plug. If recoil

spring does not come out easily, remove plug
and leave the spring for step 6. The open end
of the recoil spring goes into the plug.
