hi michigun. found something out tonight about detail stripping the kahr upper that makes it a little bit easier.
on the first step. (pulling the striker spring, and retaing rod.)
instead of using a flat head screw driver. use an old pair of tweezers.just grab a "coil" of the spring. you can lay the slide on a flat surface. and with one hand use the tweezers and with the other hand stick the side stop in thier to hold it down while you prepare for step 2. the slide basically stays still because of the way the pressure is applied by the tweezers instead of a screw driver.....
hope this helps anyone..
