Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
Still, nothing beats the old "show and tell"
method of teaching! That first photo showing
where the slide notch should be aligned to the
slide lock was what I needed (since I've been
so used to a "separate" notch in a 1911 slide)!
After that, the slide lock came out, albeit "grudgingly." Hehe!
One sour note: I forgot to "ease the hammer
forward" and it snapped rather forcefully! I was
afraid it might have cracked the frame, but it
didn't, mercifully!
Thanks again, guys! You made this 39-2 newbie
ever so grateful to you and to the forum!
