After several thousand rounds through my Glock 44 I decided to completely disassemble the slide. The extractor and firing pin safety were so carboned up I can't believe they worked. It was difficult to get them apart. Lesson learned. I would certainly recommend everyone else does it.

Does what?
Clean a gun after a few thousand rounds?
How about after every use?

I said COMPLETELY disassemble slide. So you remove your firing pin, extractor depressor, ejector, firing pin safety, along with the barrel and recoil spring?...every time you shoot it? I learn something new every day.

Something I have found when disassembling a highly carboned up slide or frame and its internals is aerosol CLP injected into all the openings, nooks and crannies and leave it sit overnight. It helps break things down a bit for easier disassembly.

Good suggestion to do that-periodically without Complete disassembly-thanks

Where did you find an assist tool for loading the mags?

You just turn the mag upside down, releas the spring pressure as mentioned.
