How to disassemble a Smith and Wesson M&P 9mm?

To disassemble a Smith and Wesson M&P 9mm, you will need the following tools:

• A T9 Torx wrench
• A medium Phillips head screwdriver
• A small slotted screwdriver or a knife

1. Begin by removing the magazine from the gun. Point the gun in a safe direction and pull the slide back to ensure that there is not a round in the chamber.

2. Using the T9 Torx wrench, remove the screws from the left side of the gun. There are three screws in total. Note that one of these screws is hidden beneath the slide lock lever. Be sure to remove this screw first before removing any other screws.

3. Once the screws have been removed, slide the left side plate off of the gun.

4. Next, remove the recoil spring assembly by pushing down on the take-down lever and then pulling it out.

5. With the recoil spring assembly removed, you will be able to see the barrel assembly. Remove the barrel assembly by pulling it forward and out of the gun.

6. The last step is to remove the slide stop lever. This can be done by inserting a small slotted screwdriver or knife into the hole on the right side of the gun and pushing down on the lever until it pops out.

With these steps, you should now have a completely disassembled Smith and Wesson M&P 9mm.
