Thank god for you tube! The owners manual is useless! The gun is fun to shoot but to disassemble and reassemble is a challenge. I had to find the proper video on you tube to get it back together. There was one video that skips over the part on how to get the guide rod and spring to line up with the slide. It was funny how the guy stops the video and starts back after he gets it together.
Once you learn it is rather simple.
