Thanks for the reply Dad. Unfortunately,S#W hold parts diagrams for this pistol close to the vest. I can't find anything that helps, but have found evidence that S#W gunsmiths want to preserve all work on this pistol for themselves. Kind of childish if you ask me. Where would we be without companies like Apex to improve the factories shortcomings. If anyone can find a link for an exploded parts diagram on the 22 compact I would be forever grateful. Thanks all.
