I appreciate all of you guys comments. Thanks so much I look forward to being a part of this group I want to do a light and rear green and red dot sight for it in the future but yeah I did finally get it to compress but it was definitely a pain and I think it was from when I was checking the chamber. I let it ride fort on his own and it went pretty hard and it didn’t sound good but I didn’t think anything of it. I don’t know if that was the reason. Thanks again bro’s.The easiest way for me would be to look in the manual. If you don't have one, there are many youtube videos with directions, here's one:
Smith & Wesson SD40VE Breakdown & Reassembly - YouTube
You can also download the manual from the S&W website.
I was cleaning my pistol and I don’t know what happened to the spring recoil but I can’t get it back inView attachment 627790
