burntcrispy Posted October 19, 2007 Author Share Posted October 19, 2007 Sorry, disengaged. I line up the slide just as I would a 1911 but can't seem to push out the slide stop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Keen Posted October 19, 2007 Share Posted October 19, 2007 Some of them need a little more pressure than others. My open gun comes out nice and easy, but my LTD gun is a bear. I push on it with a pin punch and it pops out ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scooterj Posted October 19, 2007 Share Posted October 19, 2007 My slide stop has a rather large dimple where the plunger sits so it doesn't lock the slide back. I have to depress the plunger with a small screwdriver to remove it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rvb Posted October 19, 2007 Share Posted October 19, 2007 when I "dimpled" my slide stop to keep the slide from locking back, I made the dimple in a tear-drop shape pointing towards the frame, so that the plunger has a "ramp" when disasembling. No problem pushing it out by hand, though I notice a little more resistance than a stock slide stop. Hope that helps, -rvb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
