СКАЧАТЬ After the trigger bar/disconnector is back in place, insert a small tool to re-engage the trigger bar spring with its groove in the rear lower edge of the bar.

      3. Note that the breechblock pin has a groove near one end. This groove must go on the left side of the gun, to engage the spring clip in the breechblock.

      The polymer-frame PX4 was introduced in 2003. It has since been offered in other chamberings, including 40 S&W, and in a compact version. All of these are mechanically the same, and the instructions will apply. I will note that for the non-gunsmith, some aspects of the takedown and reassembly may be difficult.

      1. With the magazine removed and the hammer in cocked position, pull the tabs of the takedown latch down, and move the slide and barrel assembly forward off the frame.

      2. Lift the barrel rotation block and remove it, along with the recoil spring assembly.

      3. Turn the barrel slightly (counter-clockwise, rear view) to clear the locking lug, and remove it from the slide.

      4. It is possible to dis-assemble the recoil spring unit by retracting the front ring and its collar and depressing the opposed catches of the endpiece. CAUTION: The compressed spring will be released. In normal takedown, this unit is not taken apart.

      5. The extractor and its coil spring are removed by drifting out this vertical roll-pin. Control the spring.

      6. Except for repair or refinishing, it is best to avoid takedown of the manual safety and firing pin system. If it is necessary, move the right-side safety lever very slightly to align its retaining rollpin with an exit track, and drift out the pin. This will allow the lever to be taken off, and the body and left lever of the safety, along with the rear firing pin, can then be turned and taken out to the left. The forward firing pin, the firing pin block, and their springs will then be accessible for removal.

      7. Assuming that the manual safety system has been taken out, the firing pin and its spring are removed toward the rear, and the firing pin block, shown here, can then be removed, along with its spring.

      8. Both the front and rear sights are dovetailmounted, and can be drifted out if necessary.

      9. Use a sharp screwdriver to lift the back-strap retainer until it can be grasped and removed.

      10. Remove the back-strap piece toward the rear. Some careful prying may be necessary to free it.

      11. Push out the middle cross-pin at the rear of the grip-frame.

9780896896925_0021_004

      12. Be sure the hammer is in forward position, and push out the cross-pin at lower rear. CAUTION: Restrain the spring base, as the hammer spring will force it out.

      13. Ease out the spring base and remove it.

      14. Use slim pliers to grip the end of the hammer spring, turn it slightly to free it, and take it out.

      15. This step is one of those that cannot be properly photographed. With the hammer in cocked position, look inside the top of the frame on the right, and use a fork-tipped tool like the one shown to push down the rear of the small rectangular locking spring. While holding it down, use another tool to nudge the tip of the top retaining cross pin toward the left. This slim pin passes through the hammer pivot, and its head is fully recessed into the grip frame on the left side. This is not an easy operation.

      16. Remove the upper cross-pin toward the left.

      17. With the hammer in forward position, move the rear sub-frame out upward. You will have to dis-engage it form the trigger bar as it exits.
