edgun leshiy folding in half

sorry, gun is still new to me - getting used to it. i mean when the gun is straight at full length and I want to break the gun in half. it just seems to take a lot of effort. i was thinking maybe of shaving a bit off the metal catch to make it easier to unlock? just wanted to canvas opinions from other leshiy owners as maybe problem with my gun or perhaps I just have weak wrists, ha ha.
