Okay...I got the slide off. Now please don't laugh (too loud). I was trying to line up the wrong part of the slide stop!!! Once I figured this out I was easily able to disassemble by hand. Anyway, thanks for all the help. Really appreciate it. Now I have to figure out how I am going to pay the Biden NFA tax on the gun, 6 mags, and the zillion other semi-auto guns and mags I own.
