Participant will properly demonstrate disassembly of the Glock 40-caliber semi-automatic pistol.
Step 2:Pull back approximately ¼ inch. Pull down on the slide lock by grasping it on both sides with your thumb and finger.
Participant will properly demonstrate disassembly of the Glock 40-caliber semi-automatic pistol.Step 3: Pull down on the slide lock while releasing the slide forward. (if you have a new york-trigger you will need to pull the trigger again at this point) Be careful to not let the slide fall off onto a hard surface, as it could damage the guide ring.
Participant will properly demonstrate disassembly of the Glock 40-caliber semi-automatic pistol.
Step 4: Remove the slide and take the recoil spring assembly out. Then remove the barrel. You now have the pistol in the field stripped condition.
