CZ Kadet question

[bfiles]

Your slide stop spring (inside frame on right side) is out of shape, you could have caused it by forcing slide stop in.

Take the retaining pin out by driving it into frame, inspect the spring and go from there.

I will try this. It is a very good idea. Maybe there is crud in there binding it up or the spring itself is pooched.

Also, try putting slide stop into frame without slide on the gun, see how it operates like that.
Spring should push it in down position. See if there is slop or free play there.
Retaining pin is short, in hourglass shape, you can install it back from outside frame.

I did try putting the slide stop in without the slide. It was stiff like that. The slide stop didnt move freely up and down but there is play side to side with it.

So the retaining pin holds the slide stop spring in the frame and the pon pushes from outside into reciever to remove it?

Alrighty, just a little update to the gents who were helping me out.

@ CeeZer, I took the slide stop spring and plunger out. Spring was bent pretty good but I straightened it out with some pliers, elbow grease and care. Put the spring and plunger back into place and now the pistol works just like it should.

VERY happy once again with it considering it is a brand new pistol.

***Words of wisdom to anyone who has a Kadet pistol. Be gentle when putting the slide stop back in to place!!!!!!!!!***

Thanks for all the help guys
