SouthpawShootr - Here's my trick:

As always, check to be sure the gun is completely empty of ammo.

Set a spent shell head up on the edge of a table. Pull the slide back and turn the gun upside down over the shell and let go of the slide so it will grasp the head of the shell in the breech opening. The shell is now captured and the slide is held back so you can now you can easily press the slide release and remove the slide.

Let me know how it works for you.
