Field dismounting of the FN Model 1910

Like any other pistol of the same Browning design, the FN 1910 pistol can be easily stripped for usual cleaning or internal check up.

There are two ways to get the pistol quickly stripped.

The first way The first way, a mere separation of the slide from the

receiver, can be easily achieved through three simple steps. First, remove the magazine by pushing toward the rear the magazine

catch located at the rear bottom of the grip

(red arrow below).

Second, retract the slide until the manual safety lever can be raised into the forward notch of the slide. Third, grasp the tip of the

barrel, and make it turn counter-clockwise as far as it will go. At this point, the slide can be removed out of the receiver by simply

pulling it toward the front.

We get now the two main units apart. And this is generally more than sufficient for regular cleaning and check up.

The striker and its spring can be removed by the rear of the slide. Note however that using this method of quick stripping will left the

barrel trapped inside the slide.
