Firearm disassembly tongs having a generally U-shaped body having two arms joined at one end by a bottom portion, the arms having a free end portion having a flat interior surface portion with a slot therein. Each of the arms may have a textured exterior surface portion. Each of the arms may have a concave interior surface portion below the flat interior surface portion. Each of the concave interior surface portions may define a stop surface that limits upward motion of the tongs when the stop surfaces are engaged with a firearm. The stop surfaces may locate the slots in each flat interior surface portion to receive a slide lock of a firearm when the stop surfaces are engaged with the firearm. The stop surfaces may be curved radiused shapes that engage a radiused underside portion of a firearm frame above a trigger area defined by a trigger guard.
