Abstract
A ball retainer forward locking assembly for preventing movement of a ball retainer with respect to a slide. A first portion of a friction locking mechanism on the slide is removably coupled with a second portion of the friction locking mechanism on the ball retainer. The friction locking mechanism is adapted to provide a removably coupled friction lock between the ball retainer and the slide such that movement of the ball retainer with respect to the slide is minimized.
