With gun pointed in safe direction, rotate the front barrel bushing while pressing in against the recoil spring plug. Use caution! When the barrel bushing is rotated far enough, the front barrel bushing is under extreme spring pressure and will come flying out under considerable force. After the spring tension is released, rotate the barrel bushing the opposite direction and it will come out of the slide.
