Assembling the pistol
To reassemble the pistol after cleaning, simply reverse the disassembly steps.
Check that there is no foreign matter inside the pistol.
Push the grip plate back on frame from below until the grip plate retaining notch
snaps into place.
With the slide upside down (sights down), place the barrel (1) in the slide (4).
Place the recoil spring (3) back on the recoil spring guide (2).
Insert recoil spring & guide assembly into slide. Ensure the button on the
flat end of the recoil spring guide (2) is seated in the retaining hole on the face
of the barrel control cam (2A).
When recoil spring is inserted into slide, it becomes preloaded. Use caution to
prevent the recoil spring & guide from flying out uncontrolled, causing injury.
Guide the assembled slide onto the frame. The front and rear of the slide will be
aligned with the front and rear of the frame.
Push the slide catch lever (17) through the frame horizontally from the left until
the slide catch lever tab rests against the slide.
Hold the frame with the right hand. Pull the slide (4) back with the left hand
until the slide recess (4b) coincides with the slide catch lever tab. Press the slide
catch lever into position until it audibly clicks home (Fig. I).
Follow the slide forward with the left hand.
Thumb down decocking lever (38). (Not applicable for DAO pistols.)
