I guess it's just me. I had the same problem with the Browning designed FN Model 1910 .380. It disassembled the same way and I always found it awkward but being a big fan of John Browning pistols I'm quick to admit all his pistols are beautifully engineered and field strip without tools. I've detailed stripped the Colt 1911 and in my opinion, this was his best design.
My Colt 1903 .32ACP has a beautiful blue finish but it's not the original.
