I had one back in the late 80's, I think after you remove the magazine and check the chamber you reach down in the chamber to the mag well and push down on a piece then let the slide go forward.  The push back on the slide so the diagonal machining on the slide lines up with the frame then push out or pull the slide release out from the frame a little then the slide will come off.  After that it is like just about everything else.

This.  That thing you push down on in the magwell is the ejector;  it needs to be swung down to so the slide will clear the frame.

I betcha if you check out Ruger's web site they'll have a link to the manual...
