Hammer
No seriously ..... If They are like I remember, there is a plastic (most likely) latch in the back of the slide...you can see the firing pin through it....with the pin forward, push in that latch & lift up while sliding forward. you can then pull the slide off. then beat it with the hammer. |

I will admit to having owned one of these pieces of crap. I sold it several years ago but I think I remember most of it.
Remove mag and clear weapon pull trigger to release the firing pin tension at the back of the slide there is a rounded piece around the firing hole. push in on that piece then pull back on the slide and lift up then pull the round piece out of the slide. If I remember correctly this should free the slide so it can be pushed forward off the barrel. |
I still have the L-380 that I bought new in 1990(?). It is my truck pistol. I think I paid $39 for it new. I have not shot it in years, but it always goes bang if you use FMJ ammo. It stays hidden and it would ONLY be used if my CCW(23) fails/goes empty. It's heavy as a brick and can be used to throw at your attacker if it fails to fire.
I would NEVER consider this a CCW piece, but it does make for a handy last ditch effort gun. I also have a L-22 that was purchased at the same time that is a shiny chrome color. I don't think I have ever fired it.

Quoted:
I am trying to work myself up to the point that i am ready, and responsible enough to own a .380. I hope you have your ducks in a row sir, owning a .380 is quite a responsibility. Get yourself a Kel-tec or something similar. Not a bad back-up to your regular CCW piece. |
