Also, what grips are on the frame? Some wood and aftermarket grips impinge on the drawbar which is shoved downward when you depress the sear release lever. If the grip is blocking the free downward pivoting of the drawbar, you'll play hell getting the slide back on.

Early 5904 (1989) - Standard S&W Grips (old style before the recall to replace grips). Hammer down (not cocked) - cocked and fired once with slide off. Have tried pushing sear release lever down with punch - much resistance but it goes down below surface. Still feels like a hard hit - not friction, but something blocking movement back.
