The idea is to take pressure off the assembly pin by locking the slide back. Oh, that’s right the P-3AT doesn’t have a slide lock. Some folks rack the slide back and insert a block of wood, hard rubber or plastic to keep the slide back. If pulled back far enough it also gives more room to insert your assembly pin extraction tool. I personally don’t bother pulling the slide back as I have a very thin APE tool.Wilson said:[quote author=Kwesi link=1157061992/0#0 date=1157061992]Can anyone explain "push the barrel back".

kbizzle said:i like using a large plastic drywall anchor that looks like the image below. works well and definitely doesn't mar up the slide.
