CW45 and Cm9 takedown?

[doolan]

Hi All....I've had a K9 since they first came out, always been easy to remove slide stop pin to disassemble. Recently bought new CW45 and CM9, broke down and cleaned both following the procedure recommended here and on other forums. Granted the heavier springs make getting the pin out tougher, but those pins won't come out now after the no issue break in periods on the new guns. The K9 doesn't have a slide stop spring like the new ones and it pops right out. The pin on the CM9 was especially hard to remove the single time I managed it. I line up everything as its supposed to be and striking hard enough, but both refuse to pop out. Did anyone experience this and I'd appreciate any suggestions. Thanks!

My CM9 was hard to remove when new but after a couple hundred rds It loosened up.My cw45 was ok out of the box.

I have both the CM9 and CW9; the pin when new took a wack with a screwdriver handle to pop out but now both come out easy.
I am sure you are doing this but with the K9 you line up the notch in the slide with the pin diameter, with the CM9 and CW9 you don't do that you line up the marks on the side to frame......just checking.
