This really isn't about repair or customization, but it seems like the right place.
I'm new to Kahr pistols, although I've owned a number of different firearms including 1911s and some that take down in a similar way as the Kahr, like the SIG Pro and a Tanfoglio full size .45. I'm familiar with pulling and holding the slide back and removing the pin then assembling in the reverse order.
I've taken the Kahr down twice and reassembled it. Neither time has been "smooth". This last time, I had trouble getting the slide back on. Eventually I did, but wasn't that clear on how I manage it or why it was difficult to start with.
When reassembling after lubing it, The guide rod would stick out. It seemed to be hanging up somewhere. I attended to the instructions in the manual to make sure it was parallel to the rails, this may have eventually allowed me to get it back together, but I verified it several times when I wasn't having any success.
Can someone suggest what might be going on and how I might make the process of disassembly and reassembly smoother?
