I purchased a Shield 9EZ today and when getting it home the first thing i did was sit down to get accustomed to it. When attempting to disassemble it I locked the slide back, checked the chamber and removed the mag, rotated the take down lever, release the slide, pulled the trigger.

This is where I messed up. The slide moved forward 1/8 inch and locked. The slide wont go forward or back it this point.

After reading the instructions (crazy right) I think I was holding onto the grip safety during this process.

When I try to move the slide I can see the grip lock move slightly as the slide moves slightly but nothing moves more than slightly.

I cant find anything that shows how to release the slide in this case so does anyone have any information on this?

Thank you kindly
