I have a new Kimber 1911 .45. Once the slide is fully back it is very difficult to release it with the slide stop lever (i.e. the slide stop lever does not depress). Any suggestions?
It's called a slide "stop" for a reason. That's its primary purpose. Most folks prefer the slingshot method of grabbing the top of the slide and pulling it back a bit to release the pressure caused by the slide stop. I have a Kimber 45, too and had the same problem until I shot it some. But I'm not really concerned about it because I don't release the slide that way.
