[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Gen 4 23 disassembly issue

Posted: 8/10/2012 9:09:54 AM EDT

When attempting to dissassemble my gen4 23 I can't get the slide stop pin to come out. Any help is appreciated.

Lift the slide lock up a little and wiggle it back and forth while pushing the pin. There are little grooves in the pin that will hang up.

Finally got it. Is that a common problem?

Yes.

It's not a problem; it's a lack of the owner's jiggling the slide stop fore and aft while pushing the pin left-to-right.

Yep, that's the "trick."

Thanks for all the help. I got it taken care of. Installed my 3.5 connector and vickers slide stop and love them both so far.
