21 FIELD STRIPPING SW99NJ During field stripping of your pistol: WARNING: ALWAYS POINT THE MUZZLE IN A SAFE DIRECTION AND BE SURE TO KEEP YOUR FINGER OUTSIDE THE TRIGGER GUARD. BE SURE YOUR PISTOL IS UNLOADED BEFORE DISASSEMBLY. •To disassemble, depress the magazine release and remove the magazine. Grasp the rear of the slide and briskly pull it fully rearward to eject the cartridge from the chamber. WARNING: Do not obstruct the ejection port because doing so can interfere with ejection of a cartridge and thereby creates the risk of exploding an unchambered cartridge and possible injury. •Lock the slide to the rear by pushing the slide stop lever upwards while pulling the slide back and allowing it to go forward slightly to be held rearward by the slide stop lever. •Look into the chamber and down through the magazine well. Verify that no ammunition remains in the pistol. •Pull the slide to the rear and release it or depress the slide stop lever to allow the slide to move forward. WARNING: To complete disassembly, you will be required to pull the trigger. If you have failed to unload your pistol and a round is left in the chamber, the pistol will discharge and may cause injury. Therefore, be sure that the chamber is empty before proceeding further. •Verify that the muzzle is pointed in a safe direction and pull the trigger to decock the striker for disassembly. •Pull the slide back about 1/8” and depress the takedown catch on both sides of the frame with your thumb and forefinger. (Figure 11) •Push the slide off the frame. (Figure 12) •Grasp the slide just behind the front sight and remove the slide by pulling it forward while being careful to retain the recoil spring and guide rod assembly. (Figure 13) •Remove the recoil spring, guide rod assembly and barrel. (Figure 14 & 15) •The pistol is now ready for normal cleaning and lubrication. Further disassembly is not recommended and should only be undertaken by a Smith & Wesson Certified Armorer or the Factory Service Center.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE !! WARNING !! Ensure your firearm is unloaded before beginning to clean it. At all times follow the basic rules of safe gun handling. Your firearm is a precision instrument and to insure reliable function, it is necessary to follow a routine maintenance procedure. After firing your firearm, be sure to unload it following the procedure outlined in the section entitled “Unloading” on page 20 before any cleaning or maintenance procedure. Your pistol should be cleaned by brushing the barrel bore and chamber with a good powder-removing solvent and bore brush. Wipe the areas clean with patches or a swab. Using a small brush dipped in solvent, remove all deposits from around the breech of the barrel, and chamber, extractor and adjacent areas which have been subjected to the action of powder or primer residue. Remove any residue on the frame with light brushing and a solvent. After cleaning the entire gun, use a cloth to apply a light film of high quality gun oil to all external metal surfaces and wipe clean. Cleaning is considered essential in order to ensure the proper functioning of your handgun. For additional maintenance, we recommend the services of a qualified gunsmith. Please refer to section entitled “Service”. If your firearm will be used or stored in a cold climate, be sure to use an oil that will not thicken at low temperatures. ASSEMBLY (see Figure 16) 1. Install magazine follower (2) in bottom of the magazine tube (1) with the notched edges of the magazine follower (2) toward the round side of the magazine tube (1). 2. Install magazine spring (3) and floorplate catch (4) in magazine tube (1). 3. While holding floorplate catch (4) in magazine tube (1), slide magazine floorplate (5) into magazine tube (1) so that the round projection of the floorplate catch (4) engages the magazine floorplate (5).
