“You have to learn how to get the hammer strut positioned before seating the takedown latch.....”
That seems to be the bugaboo for most people. Hold the gun barrel up at the right angle and gravity does it for you.
Yep, point the muzzle down, pull the trigger to ler the hammer fall forward, then raise the muzzle up enough to let the strut point straight down, and pop the housing into place. Takes two seconds, but try to explain it to someone over the phone. Argh!
