[Ron Smith]

First , remove the magazine and insure that the gun is empty.

Hold the pistol muzzle up.

Use the tab on the bottom of the magazine to depress the bushing retainer ring ( the circular flat inside collar that incases the muzzle).

With it depressed, turn the knurled bushing lock counter clock wise, while keeping the retainer depressed. When it is in the correct position the bushing lock will release and come out. "CAUTION The spring is very stout".

Then remove the spring , line up the groove(mark) on the right side of the slide with the groove on the right side of the frame. Turn the barrel counter clock wise. It can now be removed.

The slide can now be pulled forward off of the frame.

Reassemble in reverse order.
