Disengage the safety and with gun pointed in safe direction, remove the slide lock. The small cut (not the large cut) in the slide must be aligned with the lock itself.  Push the slide lock through from the opposite side of the gun. Go slow and be very careful not to scratch the side of the frame with the slide lock. This can be accomplished by wiggling it very small arcs as you remove it. Keep your index finger (trigger finger) strait and off the trigger of the gun at all times.
