Kahr customer service is a bust.

I'm wondering if he used a small punch and tried to pry the slide lock out from the under the thumb release.

I have seen it suggested somewhere that one use a screwdriver tip or similar to pry out the slide stop, but I have never thought that sounded ideal. On those guns where my finger can't push it far enough, I will apply pressure with some sort of hard, but non-marring object like a toothbrush handle or screwdriver handle while or small delrin rod, of course keeping slide properly aligned.

I use the base of a magazine to push the pin of my K9, after lining up the slide in the takedown position of course. The pin can be tight. Mine has never "lossened up" however.
