Friends,
My P380 was reassembled after cleaning - but, through a bonehead move the slide stop was fully inserted into the frame THEN the slide/barrel group was slid onto the frame rails.
This has caused the slide/barrel to become jammed onto the frame. The slide can't move forward at all and only backwards about 1/8 inch. The slide stop can't be removed because it is not aligned with the removal cutout on the slide.
It would seem to me that as the slide/barrel slid onto the frame it can only be jammed tight and (as much as I hate doing it) a strong whack with a plastic hammer on the rear of the slide ought to free it. Before I do such a brutal thing I'd like the opinion of the experts.
Thanks for any ideas, suggestions or fixes.
Hugh
