How do you disassemble a 5904 smith and Wesson 9mm?

Answer 1

I'm not sure how detailed you would like it to be, but here are simple field stripping instrutions:

1. Make sure magazine has been ejected and the chamber is clear.

2. Locate the slide stop pin (the part that allows for locking/unlocking slide).

3. Line up the slide with the frame.

5. Push the slide stop pin using finger.

6. Once pushed as far as possible, pull pin out with other hand, as to not allow pressure on the pin, and slowly release pressure on the slide.

7. Pull off slide and place frame aside.

8. Push recoil spring inward and pull up at an angle as to releave the tension on the barrel.

9. Remove spring and place it aside.

10. Push barrel towards the front of the slide, then pull up at an angle.

11. Re-assembly is done in the reverse order.

For a more in depth and full disassembly, visit Smith and Wesson, all manuals should be available. If full disassembly is required; it would be wise to take the pistol to a professional gunsmith.

Hope this helps!
