How do i take off the slide on a Kimber Warrior (WA)

[Billy Bob the Sniper]

I know how to dissasimble a real colt 1911, but is there something different bout the kimber? you pull the slide back to tthe little notch and push he slide catch up, then on the right side push the pin out... well its not budging. any help would be great. i need to put a threaded barrel in btw.

Carefully slip a thin blade between the slide release and frame and turn it gently, doesn't take much effort to get the slide release to come free.

Yeah, the new WA slide catches tend to be a little tight as there is ridge that needs to be popped over. I find pushing the pin with biro pen with the nib + ink reservoir removed. This provides a nice concave end to seat on the pin which wont scratch it.

Yeah they can be a real pain to get out the first time.

It should loosen after the first few times.
