How to Tear Down a Kel-Tec PF-9 for Cleaning

The Kel-Tec PF-9 is one of the smallest and flattest 9 mm handguns available. Released in 2006, the handgun became widely accepted by people holding concealed handgun licenses; it is also a favorite of law enforcement officers who want a light but powerful backup weapon. The PF-9, like all Kel-Tec firearms, is designed for easy take-down and reassembly.

Instructions

- 1
  Read and throughly understand the Kel-Tec PF-9 manual.
- 2
  Remove the magazine from the PF-9, and check the chamber to ensure there are no cartridges left behind.
- 3
  Move the slide all the way to the rear; lock it back with the slide stop.
- 4
  Use a small, thin screwdriver to remove the assembly pin from the left side of the pistol.
- 5
  Move the slide forward -- and off the pistol -- after releasing the slide stop.
- 6
  Reach into the pistol frame, and take out the recoil spring and barrel.
- 7
  Remove the guide rod from the recoil spring to complete the tear-down.
