CZModel27Pa1.gif (4328 bytes) To strip Model 24 or Model 27, pull slide back over on empty  magazine. Slide will stay open and relieve  tension on barrel retainer (11). Push in protruding  end of takedown cross pin (37), at same time slide takedown catch (38) down and free of frame.
CZModel27Pa2.gif (3627 bytes) After takedown catch assembly has been removed, pull out magazine as shown and ease slide assembly off frame. Magazine is difficult to remove because it holds the slide open, and must be removed against pressure of recoil spring.
CZModel27Pa3.gif (2802 bytes) Barrel is retained by barrel bushing (1). First step in removing barrel, is to turn bushing about 30 degrees until line on bushing coincides with line on slide (3). Then bushing can be pulled out of slide and off barrel.
CZModel27Pa4.gif (3910 bytes) To get barrel (2) out of slide, pull it forward until the 3 barrel lugs line up with cut in slide as shown. Rotate lugs into cutout and pull barrel free of slide. On earlier Model 24, barrel can be pulled straight out of slide.
CZModel27Pa5.gif (4004 bytes) Firing pin (10) is retained by a small machined block in early guns, and by a sheet metal stamping in wartime models. To remove pin, simply push protruding end of it below surface of firing pin retainer (8), and pry retainer up and out as shown.
CZModel27Pa6.gif (6064 bytes) With side-plate (14) and grip (23) removed, operating parts can be easily removed. Early guns have a small side-plate screw (15) which must be loosened before plate can be slid up. Screw, if overly tightened, will bend side-plate and bind parts.
