Oh? I tried disassembling a full size M&P at Cabella's and no one there knew how to do it. I could have sworn I dry fired it, but I could have been wrong. Good to know.
Bumping to update. To avoid having to prove that stupid thing inside the ejection port on the field strip, here's what you do.
Lock the slide back
Lower the take down lever
Return the slide to battery (with the take down lever still lowered)
Dry fire
Then just pull the slide forward and off.
To reassemble
Put the slide back on
Lock the slide back
Raise the take down lever
Return the slide to battery
