Default Smith and Wesson MP 9mm slide stuck

I was stripping my new never been fired M & P 9mm and after cleaning it, I put it back together and now the slide is stuck. Anybody have any ideas how to get the slide to move?

I've had this experience twice. Try wiggling the slide up and down while applying pressure toward the rear. I lucked out and my pistol came apart each time.

Good Luck.

Hold the takedown lever in the down position and pull the slide to the rear until the takedown lever lines up with the slot that it lines up with when the slide is locked to the rear. It seems like it takes three hands, but it can be done by yourself.

Mine did the same thing.I hate to admit it,but I was so PO'ed by that time with the rusty barrel,that I turned it over and beat the back of the slide on mt desk(it had the cleaning matt on the desk top). Two smacks and it moved.I oiled the s&^% ot of it but it would not cycle unless I had a glove on and worked it back and forth a few times.It works now but still really tight.It will get some rounds thru it tomorrow and we will see what happens.

Hit it with a plastic or rubber hammer (leather works too) Show it who is boss.

Is the takedown lever kind of stuck in a 3/4 position? You might take a look at this thread: M&P Reassembly: Lever Stuck

And welcome to the forum.
