 |  |  Always make sure pistol is unloaded! 1. Open up a large paper clip. 2. Cock hammer and remove magazine 3. Turn pistol upside down and pull back slide 
					approximately 1/2" holding it in that position. 4. Insert unbent end of paper clip through hole in the 
					lower front frame until it touches the slide lock. 5. Leave paper clip in that position and release slide to 
					move forward. There should now be play in slide movement. 
					(paper clip should remain in this position until pistol is 
					reassembled.) 6. With the left side of the pistol facing down, the 
					slide lock should drop out. Now the slide can be withdrawn 
					from the rear. No force is required to remove the slide 
					lock. The slide lock will only exit the pistol from the left 
					side. 7. Assemble in reverse order remembering to line up the 
					small pin on the slide lock with the corresponding cut in 
					the slide. Make sure lock is securely in place before 
					removing paper clip. NOTE: Further disassembly of the Model 
					1900 requires the removal of pins and is not recommended.
