This is an old thread. I don't have my Kahr anymore and I don't have the picture either!

For clarification, what I did was put a orange plastic wire cap in the ejection port and let the slide close on it. That allowed the correct position for the slide release pin to be tapped out with whatever you want to use.
Helps in re-assembly too!

Sorry, I no longer have the picture available either.
I believe it was a orange color (denotes size of wire the cap is for) or it may have been a yellow one. It is a plastic cap that you use to "screw" onto two wires to put them together (like installing a light fixture in your ceiling).

You can find lots of things to use. Wood dowels, plastic toothbrushes as mentioned above, etc that you can put in the ejection port and with the right size item it will hold the slide open at the right length that the slide lock can be pushed out easily without requiring three hands!

I sold the gun for that very reason, difficult to dis/re-assemble.
Otherwise, Kahr's are really fine guns.

Here is an easy way to hold the slide in the correct position on a K9 while taking out the slide stop pin to disassemble the pistol. Simply use this wire cap and tap the pin out.

Experiment with other plastic or wood or other non-marring things you have around to find something similar that is the correct size for whatever Kahr you own. Makes life simpler!
