I have a Friend who has a Ruger 93. The spring guide rod came loose, It's sticking out of the hole in the slide for the guide and will not come out. I try to field strip the handgun but the slide will not come off the lower. I did download the manual for the model and still no luck .

What I do need is to see pictures of the underneath the slide to see how every thing is put together. Thanks for any help.

I had a P94 which is very similar, but I have no idea how that could have happened, other than the spring being put in backwards if it had a tapered end.
I no longer own this gun, and these are the only pics I took of the underside of the slide:

Wish I could be of more help. You might have better luck at
http://www.rugerforum.com/phpBB/ There are some people there who really know their stuff when it comes to Rugers, including some retired former employees.

Make sure the spring on the guide rod is installed the right way.

if you put it in backwards, it will do this.

Mossy, I have no idea if he installed the spring backwards. It sounds like he did. I still can't get the slide off.

Can you move the slide at all?

Yes, I can remove slide lock but it will not go any future past the locked position. I don't know if its not any further because of the spring guide popped out or It's something in the trigger mech because the hammer pin was missing.
