I always thought it would dis-assemble its self if fired. If that doesn't work try pressing in on the firing pin bushing while pulling back and up on the slide. Should work on the P-380, thats how my P32 comes apart.

schild is correct, it should come apart during firing...

Ok, seriously, he's right about the "firing pin bushing" if that's what the darn thing's called. Just make sure the pistol isn't cocked and you may have to use a pencil (eraser end, of course) to depress the bushing, then lift up and there you go.

Just out of curiousity, how's the condition of your riflings?

I'm just impressed that someone actually wants to disassemble one of them. I mean, whats next...cleaning?

The gun is designed to be disposible, like one of those plastic cameras.

It'll fling out a bullet and kill an attacker just as efficiently as any $500.00 Walther PPK ever made.

Well, it might fling out a bullet or two, or it might just jam. It also might just drop some parts at your feet, hard to say.

 

[Snowdog]

Well, mine will fling out a bullet for certain....

Where it goes outside five feet is anyone's guess
(mine lacks riflings after 200 rounds of Hansen 90gr JHPs).

Is it too late to suggest releasing tension on the rubber band, and then removing the connected paper clip?
