Walther made an updated take-down tool that has a business-end made from aluminum rather than the awful nylon version that came with the gun. It's not any easier procedurally, other than having a better tool that doesn't slip. It's the only thing I don't like about my wifes CCP... It's a fantastic shooting gun, just annoying to take the slide off and put back together.

I sent the gun to Walther for a recall a year or so ago and requested a new tool. When they returned the upgraded gun the new tool was included. I bet they'd send you one for free if you asked.
