Need some help from the P226 owners out there. I finally picked up a Sig P226 9mm last week, been searching for a new one for a while. Brought it to the range, fired about 150 rounds. I absolutely love this gun.
Last night I went to detail strip the gun and get a closer look and understanding of the internals. Soon into breaking the gun down I run into an issue. I can't get the Locking Insert out (part #26 on the exploded view). The takedown lever came out without any issues, but the Locking Insert won't budge. I sprayed it down with some CLP, but still won't come out. From everything I've read/seen once the takedown lever is removed this piece should slide right out.
Anyone else run into this issue? Any helpful suggestions to removing this piece?
