Grat gun. I have had mine for 6 or so months but am only now getting into shooting it as I am reloading .38's.

I did my first tear dwn on the gun last week. I went the remove the bushing first using the wrench tool method but never again. In the future I will remove the slide, remove the spring and guide rod, than remove the bushing.

My spring was tight on the guide rod but came off with some careful finesse.
