i have a new-to-me 92F that my LGS said was a former European police trade-in. I shot it and it runs very nice. Today I cleaned it and according to The Intertubes I should be able to remove the locking block from the barrel by "pushing it out to either side." This doesn't work because the pin that passes through under the barrel, which I think is to retract the block under recoil, won't pull back far enough to allow it. As usual, I am hesitant to force anything (though I probably can't pull hard enough to hurt something that resists the force of the recoil anyway).
I would SWEAR that the guy at the shop, who was kind enough to disassemble it for me so I could look at the wear, just did some kind of magic and it slide right out. I assume--since he's a retired Gunnery Sergeant--that the pistol just likes him better than me...
Anyway, before I crawl back to them with my tail between my legs, I thought I'd see if someone could tell me the One Simple Trick I need. Along with any other wisdom you'd like to share. I paid $360, so feel free to start with "you got rooked, loser!" Thanks for any help.
