16. The mainspring housing can now be slid down off the frame. If it is tight, cocking the hammer will put pressure on it through the mainspring and help to ease it out.
17. Viewing the mainspring housing from the rear, there is a small pin (arrow) at upper right which can be drifted out toward the inside to free the mainspring and its plunger. CAUTION: The mainspring is under quite a bit of tension and can cause injury when released. Use a heavy shop cloth to catch it when driving out the pin.
18. With the hammer cocked, move the safety almost to the on-safe position while exerting slight outward pressure toward the left. When its internal projection aligns with its cut in the frame, it can easily be taken out.
19. Removal of the safety frees the grip safety and this is now removed to the rear.
20. The combination leaf spring which powers the sear, trigger, disconnector, and grip safety can now be lifted out at the rear of the grip frame.
21. Pushed from the front with a drift of proper size, the spring and plungers which supply tension to the slide stop and manual safety can now be removed from the rear of its tunnel above the left grip. The spring tunnel is riveted in place inside the magazine well and it is difficult to remove and replace without special tools. Unless removal is absolutely necessary, it should be left in place.
22. Started from the right with a drift of the proper size, the hammer pin is removed from the left side of the grip frame.
23. The hammer can now be lifted out of the frame.
24. Removal of the small pin at lower rear of the hammer will free the hammer strut. Note the direction of its curve, and replace it in the same position.
25. Starting from the right side with a drift, remove the sear/disconnector pin from the left side.
26. The sear and disconnector can now be removed from the rear of the frame. Note their relationship for proper reassembly.
27. With a small screwdriver, turn the slotted head of the magazine release retainer to the left, while keeping the magazine release depressed to the level shown.
28. With the retainer locked into its slot in the magazine release, the release can be taken out toward the right side of the gun. After removal, turning the retainer back to the right will free the retainer and its spring from the release body. These are small parts, so take care that they aren’t lost.
29. After the magazine release is taken out, the trigger is free to be removed toward the rear of the frame. The grip screws can be taken out to free the grips.
Reassembly Tips:
When installing the combination spring, slide the mainspring housing partially into the frame to hold the spring in place while replacing the grip safety.
During reassembly, the most difficult operation is often the alignment of the barrel link with the slide latch hole in the frame. The hole is large enough that the proper alignment can be seen, and the link can be edged into position by moving the slide back and forth a very small distance until it drops into place. Don’t try aligning the link and the clearance cut for the top of the latch at the same time. Get the latch shaft through the link, then swing the latch up and align it with the clearance cut.

The Five-seveN has also been called the IOM (Individual Officer Model), and USG (U.S. Government). The latter designation indicates its use by several agencies. When the pistol was introduced, original ammunition would pierce body armor, and sales were to Law Enforcement only. Later, with different cartridges and a slight re-design, it was offered for regular commercial sales.
Field Strip:
1. With the internal hammer in fired position and the magazine removed, move the slide about a quarter-inch rearward, and hold it there. Push the takedown latch fully to the rear, and keep it in that position.
2. Ease the slide assembly forward about a half-inch, to clear the rails at the rear, and lift it off the frame.
