Warbird:
I wouldn't recommend removing the Firing Pin for cleaning. However, if you must, you will have to use two small screwdrivers to push the Firing Pin and Safety Barrel Plunger (on the Extractor side) slightly forward to clear the Safety Barrel. Then pull the Safety Lever out of the Slide. Reassembly would be the opposite procedure.
CAUTION: If you lose control of the Safety Plunger, its Spring and the Extractor Plunger could come out and be lost. Also the Extractor may drop out of the Slide. Again, I wouldn't recommend doing it unless the Firing Pin is broken and must be replaced.

Joe,
If you do this operation, let me know how successful you were. I am with Warbird on this 100%. I also don't recommend this. All types of bad things can happen. They did to me! Good luck, if you are brave enough.

I took her to the range today with some 7,65 Browning 73 grain ammo. Shot flawlessly. However, I noticed that it doesn't go into full battery with a round with the safety on when inserting a magazine. When I disengage the safety and insert a magazine and the slide closes, it works just fine. As well as firing an entire magazine, it works great. It also gives me decent hammer bite, I don't know if it's because I have large hands or I'm not holding it tight enough to control recoil. I will not be touching the firing pin and safety switch, it works just fine. I should probably get some after market grips and put the originals away for safe keeping. Here's more pictures:

Good idea about the aftermarket grip idea!

Josefius:
I have a question, Is it normal to have a problem chambering a round with the safety on? Both racking the slide and having the magazine close the slide on insertion fails to go into battery with a round, with the safety off, it functions fine. maybe the magazine needs cleaning? Or is that as intended?
