Takedown tool

tservo · 02-22-2012, 10:15 PM

Gents,

I've seen mention on several posts about something called a take down tool. What is this mysterious thing used for? The Artillery I inherited from my grandfather didn't come with anything except a modded holster (by modded I mean whoever had it cut the end off so the barrel could stick out.) Are these tools marked with the same serial number as the gun or are they nothing special.

Pardon my ignorance.

The takedown tools are not necesarily marked to the pistol, (although this occurs with certain units and police). The tool is used to remove grips, remove firing pin spring guide and also helps load the magazine. It is a little cross shaped affair and fits into the little pouch below the lid of your holster..

Do a search of the site with "take down tool as the key words.

Thanks. Unfortunately, the holster is probably not original, so it didn't come with one.

Any ideas where I'd be able to pick one up?
