Thanks for all the replies. I will have to look into it further to see what's going on. First handgun I have owned. Have gotten into reloading for rifle for several years and now got bit by the handgun bug. Will probably load up some dummy rounds and cycle them through by hand and see if I can...

Is it supposed to leave the last round not chambered and the slide locked back? In other words it does not fire the last round unless you close the slide.

I have a S&W 5906 semi auto and 2 clips. With the factory clip when it gets to the last round the slide will stay back and the round is not chambered. With the aftermarket clip I bought for it it will fire all the rounds completely and the slide closes when it is finished. Took the clips apart...

I meant to say I held the slide back with a small hose clamp. Did not want parts going all over the place when it came apart.

I finally got the slide pin out. Held the barrel back with a small hose clamp and put the gun in a vice with protective jaws on it and after a couple hits with a brass punch out it came. Was pretty clean inside so oiled it lightly and put it together and took it back apart to see how was to do...

I also have a 5906 that I have been having a heck of a time getting the slide out. Doing everything mentioned here and on you tube and still no luck. Just bought it and would like to give a good cleaning up inside. Is there a chance the pin could be bent inside. Any ideas. Thanks much
