Removing the slide:
- Remove the magazine and put the striker in the fired position.
- While holding the latch up, push the slide back about .5 to .75 of an inch until it engages the striker guide on the inside.
- Keeping the latch engaged to the striker guide inside, let the slide come forward about .25 of an inch.
- This disengages the striker guide from its latch on the frame.
- Lift the rear of the slide up and you can remove it in a forward direction.
- Be careful not to loose the striker guide as it may pop off its spring.
*Be aware that RG firearms, especially this pistol are notoriously bad quality. The slide has a tendency to crack, break, and fly off when firing.
