Help!! FEG P9R problem/question

sergei · 08-18-2002, 12:11 AM

I'm new here. Just got an FEG yesterday! Nice looking gun, this 9mm is NOT a Hi-Power clone, though is loosely based on that same design. It's a double action weapon, with a hammer-drop safety. I can't take it appart!! How do you field-strip this thing? I can't get the slide stop lever/pin out of the gun no matter what I try... Due to the obvious reasons, I can't do it the Hi-Power way. Any ideas? Anybody else owns one of these?
Feedback badly needed, as I can't fully inspect the weapon without taking it appart! Nice looking gun though...

OK, I pushed out the pin for about 1.5mm... The slide stop end seems to be catching on to something... I can't take this friggin' gun appart!!! Anybody?!

Here's the direction from the manual for disassembly of the P9R:

1. Prior to disassembly, you must first remove the magazine from the pistol. To remove the magazine, turn the safety lever to the "on" position. depress the magazine release button and withdraw the magazine.

2. With safety "on" and the clip removed, pull the slide to the rear and manually set the slide release lever in it's notch in the slide.

3. While firmly holding the slide to the rear with your left hand, use the index finger of your right hand to push the slide release lever pin (located on the opposite side of the frame) out of the frame seat. While still holding the slide to the rear, remove the slide release lever completely from the frame.

4. Allow the slide to go forward and pull it completely off the frame.

I hope this helps.

I have the same problem with my Feg P9R, comes cleaning time, it is always a problem, believe me. My slide release is very very very difficult to remove. Last time I dismantled it, I use a small rubber hammer just to remove the slide catch. Nevertheless, its my back up pistol (my personal handgun anyway) when we are on the field. Its very reliable, shoots straight and true By the way, I am a sgt of the phillippine marines assigned in Basilan, Philippines. Another thing about caliber, I always believe that the most effective caliber is constant practise and more practise and get acquainted with your weapon, since a hit from a miniature .22 cal revolver is much better than a miss from a .50 sniper's rifle.

just follow MSW's instruction and you should not have any problem field stripping your P9R.
