I just got a new to me P83 loaded in cosmo and would like to know how to take the safety and firing pin out of the slide to clean it properely and then put it back together. Has anyone here done this ? Any help would be appreciated.

I thought it was somewhat similar to the P-64. You can push the firing pin through the bolt face, and grab it with a pair of forceps. That allows you to work with both hands to work the safety out the side. ???

Thanks, I remember seeing a guide somewhere that show all the step of dis assembly of the P64 but can't find it. Do you have a link for it?

Thought I had a good link for a video, but it was just showing how to take the slide off. Lame...
