A friend of mine has gotten a jennings j22 semi-auto pistol. My question is, how do you get the slide off. Is there anyone out there that can help me?
Thanks! andy

If memory serves, there should be a little collar looking thing around the back of the firing pin, visible from the rear of the pistol. Take the mag out, and push that collar in with a pencil. The slide should retract and pull up at the rear, then forward off the pistol.
Once disassembled, scatter the parts.

This is true.
I took the "safety" off mine and threw it away while I had it apart.

Just tell him to shoot it a few times. It should fall apart on its own.
Jennings, Raven, and I can't recall the other 1-2 companies were all owned by different members of the same family (father and sons). Their companies were once dubbed 'the ring of fire', in that their plants were on the fringes of Los Angeles, surrounding it.
Their weapons are well known for being cheap, inaccurate junk. Better than nothing, but not by much.

Like I said... it is not mine. But it is still kinda fun, when it actually feeds a round : ) .
I thought i tried everything to get the slide off...even pushiing it the button at the rear of the slide (maybe not hard enough...didn't really want to permanetly disasemble someone elses weapon ( can it really be called that? : ) )

It sure as heck is a weapon.
Keep it clean and will function reliably so long as you remove that goofy little safety. Just keep the chamber MT and if you have to use it you'll need them all anyway.
I bet I can make ya keep yer head down 50 yards away with one.

I disagree, I owned a J22 and mine functioned fine, shot very well, I sold it to a friend of mine, he has had no problems with it.
