The easiest way?
Pull the slide back until the take-down notch aligns with the slide stop and pop it out.
Ease the slide foreword off the receiver and catch the spring and guide with your hand grasp around it.
After you get the slide off, go about breaking it down the rest of the way.
Been doing it that way since I was 17.......some time back.Pull the slide back until the take-down notch aligns with the slide stop and pop it out.

Put it back together the same way.
Not doing it right.The first time was a little dicey manipulating the bushing going back in
Works great for a GI recoil plug but can be a PITA with the FLGR the OP has. This makes it even harder to depress the plug since you also have to hold the FLGR in place or it wants to angle up and it prevents the plug from being depressed.Pull the slide back until the take-down notch aligns with the slide stop and pop it out.

You have to flip the barrel link down and keep it there while starting the slide on.
Then rack it on back at the very end so the link will flip back down and align with the pin hole.
the hand fitting kimber did 10 years and 40 odd thousand rounds ago is still so tight to the frame that it only gets claeaned every 4 or 5k rounds or when it starts to cycle slower.

How do you do you hold slide back in the proper position then remove the slide stop without 3 hands or a really weak recoil spring ? Is there a trick I"m missing ? I'd like to find another disassembly option but normal disassembly still appears easier IMHO.
