Hello,

I just picked up a used Colt Defender and I have no idea how to take this thing apart.

I can take my BHP apart with my eyes closed.

I have looked at the manuals for regulat 1911s but the Defender has a bushingless barrel and I cant get the main pin out :P

Can someone help?

Also - where can I get a manual or guide to do a detail strip?

Thanks in advance....
 
1-800-962-COLT(2658) is the customer service # Colt's lists on their website. I've never asked them, but they can probably hook you up with a manual.
 
Remove magazine, make sure pistol is empty, pull slide back to take down notch, push out slide stop, may come out hard as recoil spring is compressed...after slide stop is out ease slide forward keeping your thumb under the slide to hold in the recoil spring..when slide is off remove guild rod and spring to the rear, push reverse spring plug out to the rear also, flip barrel link forward and remove barrel to front........
