I need help with a P08 slide stop problem

mrapaul · 12-25-2020, 12:18 AM

On reviewing the mess I got myself into, I am pretty sure I had the magazine in, which pushed up the hold open latch, when then moved the receiver, it trapped the HOL.....things went from bad to worse. I tried to remove the breach block but it was trapped, and then the pin wouldn't align
We ended up driving the receiver forward with a piece of wood to soften the tapping.. we used a lot of penetrating oil before hand
The springs, and everything are OK. No damage.....greatly relieved and thankful for the help on this forum

The take away....make sure the magazine out before any movement is attempted.....
