I absolutely understand, and appreciate your cautions. I mostly thought it was either the coating was too thick from factory, or maybe I wasn't putting enough pressure on the grip safety or too much pressure on the grip safety, or maybe the hammer wasn't back far enough. It could've been 100%...
After hours of trying, and reading watching tons of videos of people taking them apart, I didn’t once do anything that wasn’t recommended to do.
I didn’t pry or bend anything at all. When I get all the parts back, I’ll try to recreate the method I used to get it out. And I’ll make sure it all...
WELL, since the factory coating gets stripped off, that will make it have less resistance in that area, however, depending on how thick the plating is laid down, I may have to persuade the opening in the frame a touch
