My buddy has been wanting a gun for a while and I'm afraid I ruined it. He got a Kel Tec P-3AT and I thought it came apart just like my springfield... WRONG!!
Oh how wrong I was. I took out the assembly pin and didn't know I had to press on the side of the frame. The assembly spring has become dislodged from the trigger mechanism and pressed between it and the frame, the slide is stuck in place and I'm hoping someone familiar with this gun will be able to tell me if this is repairable. I'm willing to take it to a gun smith.
Had a mishap with my buddies new gun...

Off to the gunsmith it is. Turns out the spring itself only costs $1 so if it breaks basically all I'm paying for is the labor rate.
Guess I'll read the instruction booklet next time -.-

Sometimes you have to take one on the chin.
I pulled a rear takedown pin on an AR while the bolt was back. The bolt shifted in just the right way that I couldn't push the upper down to reassemble it, couldn't take it the rest of the was up, and the front pin was stuck in place because of the spring pressure, so I couldn't take it apart at all.
I ended up having to pull the buffer tube and pull all the parts out the back, which was a task that proved to have its own complications.
I'll never make that mistake again. LoL

Re: Had a mishap with my buddies new gun...
My buddies dad took it to a friend of his and it only cost 40 bucks. I'll let him disassemble it the next time.
The fact that its' a 380 and it weighs less than a lb I'm not looking foward to shooting the damn thing. I remember when I first fired the XD... kicked a bit more than I was initially prepared for.
Awesome part is my buddies friend let him borrow a Walther P99. I hope we get to shoot it too

Re: Had a mishap with my buddies new gun...
We've all had those moments. I was field stripping my new (to me) Neos 22 and had gotten the barrel and slide off and was looking at the firing pin and in a moment of stupidity pulled the trigger and sent the pin and its spring flying across the room. No damage at least once I crawled under the furniture to retrieve it.
The most amusing one was when someone stuffed toothpaste in one of the locks at work. One of my coworkers decided he'd "clean" it. He took the cylinder out of the door and had removed the screws holding the cam on the back and was busy fiddling with it further. "There's no way that's coming apart...." starts I and I was about to say "...unless you stick the key in it." When he inserts the key, withdraws the core and sends all the pins and springs flying all over the room. He got a nice lesson in locksmithing learning how to put all that back together again ...
