After removing the slide-release lever, the
instructions say the hammer should fall as one
pushes the slide forward off the frame.
On my gun (CS45), the hammer does not fall and
the only way I can get the slide off the frame
is to insert a magazine (to disengage the mag
safety), pull the trigger and remove the magazine.
The slide is then free to move forward off the frame.
The instructions say nothing about this and explicity
state the field strip should start with the mag
out of the gun (as one would expect).
Although the field strip starts with the hammer down,
it gets cocked in the process of drawing the slide
partially back to remove the slide release lever and
I see no way around this.
Has anyone else experienced this? I'm concerned
there might be a problem with the gun.
Thanks.
