K100 frame disassembly

[Canuck223]

Here is a Coles Notes version of how to do more than a basic field strip on your Grand Power K100.
They are actually very simple to work on. Like the 1911, the hardest part is often just removing the safety.



K100 frame disassembly.
Removing the frame insert.
1) Prove gun safe, and field strip as normal.
2) If using the largest grip with the long backstrap, remove it.
3) Press out the slide stop pin and the rear frame roll pin.
4) Rotate the safety lever up, and lift the rear of the frame insert up a little.
5) Get your finger nails under the plastic lever and pull sideways slightly as you rotate the safety. The plastic cap will come off the safety cylinder. You can press the cylinder and the remaining attached cap through to the other side.
6) Lift out the frame insert.
7) Observe the small spring under the insert. It presses the slide stop down and just rests in the hole.

Detail stripping the frame insert.
1) Control the hammer from falling while using a screwdriver to press the sear to the front to decock.
2) Press up on the cap under the hammer spring while pressing out the hammer spring retaining pin.
3) Press out the hammer pivot pin.
You generally don’t need to go further than this.
4) Press out the firing pin safety pin.
5) Slide the sideplates along with the sear and sear spring down and out of the insert.

Detail stripping the grip frame.
1) Lift the slide stop up and off the frame.
2) Press the safety detents out words.
3) Lift the trigger bow up.
You generally don’t need to go any further than this for detail cleaning.
4) Press the trigger pivot pin out from right to left. (the pin is headed, so an attempt to press it out from the wrong side can damage the grip frame.)
5) Secure the trigger, trigger bow, and trigger return spring.
(You will want an assembly pin to re-install the trigger. It will hold the trigger return spring in the trigger during assembly, until you press it out with the hammer pivot pin.)

It is not advisable to dry fire the K100's without some type of snap cap, doing so could cause the firing pin to stick (the fire pin will contact the retaining roll pin in the slide).

It is not advisable to dry fire the K100's without some type of snap cap, doing so could cause the firing pin to stick (the fire pin will contact the retaining roll pin in the slide).

Yes, dry firing will eventually pound the roll pin that holds the firing pin, and snap caps would spare some of that wear.

However, the roll pin is easy to replace and cheap. Somehow I've managed to get by with my originals.

Dry fire to your hearts content.
