Does the barrel come out of the slide after removal for cleaning? I assume it does but haven't figured out how.

Lock the slide open with the safety and you will see the barrel sticking out. Turn the barrel clockwise and it can be removed.

Careful with the firing pin and spring,,,ease slide off after what Mark suggests.

Thanks, I figured out the slide comes off like the later "Baby Browning" models and I've had the firing pin and spring out and back in. I just haven't been able to figure out how to get the barrel out of the slide after I remove it.

Look here,



See the notches near the end of the barrel [?][?]
You pull the side back and turn the barrel clockwise and pull it out [;)]
