It comes apart exactly like the rifle variant. The only difficult part to the pistol is that there isn't enough barrel to hold in the vice.

Hold the upper receiver firmly and use the barrel nut wrench. Just be extremely careful to not twist the barrel in the receiver and strip out the key ways.
I made myself a threaded clamp to hold the barrel by the threaded muzzle. And a custom shorty barrel wrench to the exact right length.

Thanks Brett. They worked great for the first time tear down. Unfortunately once the new longer handguard was in place all that went right out the window. 6" barrel is at least 3" down inside the new handguard.
