Thanks to all that have helped with this. Great group, glad I own several S&Ws, but mine are revolvers. I got in touch with the owner, a friend, and recommended he send it back to S&W after calling them and getting a shipping label. Thanks again!!

Thanks! Not sure, I defer to others that have an M&P - I dont have another one to compare it to. Anyone have any thoughts?

Thanks. So, before my first sip of coffee this morning, I drove the muzzle of the barrel in the oak edge of my work bench. I was slamming it pretty good. Still stuck. I wasn't soft on it at all. This would seem like a solution. I may try wacking the muzzle with a plastic mallet I have a...

Thanks for jumping in Bkreutz - I tried jamming the slide back with the wooded edge of one of my work benches. I put considerable force into it to try and move the slide further back. Wouldn't budge. Still stuck. Yep, we are a ways apart, I am in New Orleans. :rolleyes:

Thanks for the help Bob. We'll see if anyone else has an idea. My friend can always contact Smith and Wesson and send it to them.

I banged the back of the slide 5 or 6 times on the floor - I have an oriental rug, no carpet pad and then oak floors. I banged it pretty good - no baby strokes to the back of the slide. Still locked up.

Thanks for the video Bob. I tried the hand method. Didn't work. Then I tried a hard plastic handle of a Craftsman screw driver. Didn't work either. Still locked up.

Sure, that's easy. Pic with my hand model index finger pushing the slide lock up. :rolleyes:

Yes, the slide lock lever moves up and down just fine, but they do not contact the lever lock cut outs in the slide. The slide is too far back, about 1/8" to 3/16" too far back. So the levers are in their down position.

A few more pics. Yes Bob, compared to your picture, my barrel is riding high. It looks like the barrel shroud is in contact (maybe) with the slide.

Ok, thanks - I followed the directions and I got the striker out. Still no joy - the slide is locked back tighter than a tick still.

Bob, when I push up on the slide release, the slide is too far back - by about 1/8" or 3/13" of an inch. No cracks anywhere in the polymer fame.

It did eject the spent case.

Hey Bob, I attached three pics, let me know if you need additional view. Thanks!

Bob, I do not see any of the recoil spring protruding though any portion of the slide and none is coming through the hole. In fact, no matter how I turn the pistol, I can not see any of the recoil spring.
