So....I bought a AMT backup in 9mm Luger. No manual or paperwork, so I figured I could find such on the 'net.

NO SUCH LUCK!

So, how do I takedown the AMT Backup in 9mm?

  First thing; Make Sure the mag is out and the chamber is empty by pulling back the slide AFTER you drop the mag.
  Be strong and grasp the front of the slide in one hand while holding the grip in the other hand. Pull it back to the locked open position, and then with your other hand; push out the pin (right-to-left) that sits above the trigger.
  When this pin (slide lock) is removed, slide the barrel/slide off the front of the frame.
  Be careful not to drop the little black piece of metal that sits between the rails of the frame by the hammer.
  
  Reassemble in the reverse order.
  Or so.

  Ok...that got it disassembled. Thanks.
  
  I don't see this black piece of metal... anything loose....between the frame rails by the hammer....just the ejector on one side of the hammer and something else on the right of the hammer and they're retained by the smae pin the hammer pivots on. Perhaps the later Galena Backup (my gun) didn't use this mysterious black metal part of unknown utility...

  That's the firing pin lock lever. Please dont break or lose it. I have a lot of new AMT parts, but as far as I know that part is no longer available.
