Howdy,
I hadn't pulled my pistol apart for a while, and I wanted to get the trigger out so that I could really clean the stirrup grooves and grease them up. Having already removed everything else with the exception of the Mag. release and the trigger, I then turned my attention to this job.
It had been a while, and I'd lost track of my shop manual's in the move, but having done it before, I thought that it'd be a snap. But I cannot get the screw on the back of the mag release to budge.
The pistol is an alloy frame Commander - although I don't think that it makes a difference when if comes to dissassembly, I have a set of B-Square gunsmith screw drivers to use, and I'll be damned if the tip on the one that I'm using is starting to bend.
So what am I doing wrong here? Is it a left handed thread? Is there some sort of locking pin/device that I'm forgetting about? What methods of removing stuck/stubborn fasteners do you all know about that aren't going to mess up that alloy frame?
I appreciate any and all answers. Thanks in advance.
