I just bought a new M&P 9 Shield EZ and like I do on all the guns that I buy, I disassemble, clean, oil and reassemble. I have done this on several hundred guns of various makes so this is not something new to me. After oiling it up, I put the slide on the frame and I hear a "click" then the slide won't go on all the way and it won't come off either. I can move the slide to the rear but it hits something about 1/2" before going on all the way. Going forward it stops about 5/8" from the frame front and will not come off. So, It's stuck there and I cant get it off. Anyone else have this problem and what can I do to get the slide off?
I Emailed S&W and they said it is a common problem with this model and to wiggle the slide back & forth while pushing it forward. This does nothing as it's still stuck there.
I guess I'll have to send it back.
