Smith Handejector Disassembly

These blue guns are a little less contrasty than the stainless rugers but I think the pictures are clear enough. One critic rightly noted that one of my disassembly steps is out of order. I popped the side plate before de-tensioning the main spring. This could/does put pressure on the unsupported mounting pins. Important not to pry the side plate off. This will raise burrs. Standard procedure is to tap the grip frame with a non-marring tool until it pops off.

There are a number of minor variations. One guy found that his hammer strut(mainspring pivot) fell off when he de-tensioned the side plate. Went back on just fine though

This one is pretty easy but you would never know it the first time you try to figure out exactly what to do about the spring:
