    According to the manual,....

    Unload pistol and visually check chamber, move slide to the rearmost position, allow slide to move forward 1/8th inch, exposing slide retainer pin. Using a 1/8 pin punch, remove retainer pin from the frame. Lift slide up until it stops. Hold rear of slide up and push forward, this removes the slide assembly from the frame.

    Reassemble in reverse order.

    This gun is not designed to be taken apart as a normal part of field stripping. That is why it is pinned. You did not say why you want to do this.

    ameriskin; Are you converting it to a Carbine? I have had one for a considerable time and other than normal cleaning have had no reason to "Field Strip" it. It looks and feels like a block of iron but I have never had a problem with it. I have thought about buying a carbine conversion kit for it and thats why I am wondering if thats what your intentions are.
