How do you break down a lorcin model l380? - Answers

Remove the magazine. Rack slide and visually inspect chamber to ensure the weapon is unloaded. Point the pistol in a safe direction and pull the trigger. At the rear of the slide, there is a small keyhole-shaped cutout. Press in on this cutout, and keep pressure on it as you lift up the rear of the slide. Ensure that the slide is also pointed in a safe direction, as the firing pin of this pistol is under tension, and is very likely to come undone and be propelled back towards you. Once you have the rear slide up, you'll be able to ease it forward, and it will taken off from the front of the barrel. Again, I cannot emphasize enough the need to visually inspect the chamber to ensure the weapon is unloaded, and also to be certain to keep the slide pointed in a safe direction to ensure you are not struck with the firing pin.
