I would greatly appreciate it if someone could tell me how to field strip this pistol for basic cleaning. A neighbor just brought one over to me assuming that I would know what to do. Well, I have never handled one of these before so any help would be greatly appreciated. And yes, I have removed and unloaded the magazine and chamber checked repeatedly to make sure that it is unloaded.....Thanks, Art G.

Great little pocket gun
Clear the chamber and verify it with the mag. removed. I retract the slide and put a nickle between the underside of the rear of the slide and the frame to hold it open (or put an empty case in the ejection port like a stove pipe). Use a small punch to drive out the pin from the slide that holds the breech insert in. Push up from the mag well after the pin is out and the insert will come out.
I forget if you pull to the rear and raise the rear of the slide or of it just slides off the front, but you can now remove the slide. It sounds a lot worse than it is-takes me about 15 minutes to strip and clean mine, which is shot regularly.
Gun Parts Corp has parts for these and magazines are also easy to find.
