Answer
It depends which model you are talking about. The break open type, you break open then look for a small flat spring in the frame in front of the cylinder in line with the axis pin of cylinder this is a spring catch, press into frame and pull cylinder off axis rod. Be careful to watch for another flat spring in the axis rod, this is friction spring for cylinder, do not overlook or lose! The screws in the frames of all models, if the screw does not move, lubricate with a penatrating oil( the very best is KROIL by Kano labs,) strike head of screw with small hammer with light blows and get screwdriver that fits the screws VERY CLOSE, apply down pressure and turn(all screws are right hand threads) if not successful then screws have to drilled out and replaced. These handguns are very simple and OLD. Parts are hard to find some are not to be found. A drawing for some models are on the web at gunpartscorp.com. Good Luck!
