I am brand new to the Springfield 1911 .45 and need help please. I can disassemble with no problem. But when I have to assemble it I have a heck of time getting the slide stop back in.
If you look at the picture I have attached, i am trying to figure out how you are supposed to keep that tiny little button depressed while you put the part with the notch back in to the dissembly notch. I find it damn near impossible to simultaneously press that tiny little button in while I try to make that part of the slide stop go into the notch.
So far it has taken me depressing the button with a flat head screwdriver while my son presses the part into the diassembly notch.
I can only conclude that I am either missing something painfully obvious or I am just too weak to perform this step. If it just my lack of muscle please dont hesitate to tell me. If not muscle strenght, how the heck do get this bugger back in without alcohol and swearing involved?
btw I put the post through the barrel link first before I attempt to put the end into the disassembly notch.
Any help is HUGELY appreciated. Thank you in advance
