Also the gun is in disconnect mode when you pull the trigger it doesn't move the hammer.

I bet you're doing the same thing I did at first.

With the slide locked open, I was trying to put the pin in with the end of the barrel flush with the slide. It aint gonna happen like that. You have to move the barrel completely forward, making it flush with the frame/laser.

I'll try posting a pic if need be. Seems like a lot of guy's are making the same mistake that I did. I don't feel so bad now,,,lol.

This is the wrong way that I tried at first.

This is the right way. You have to make sure the barrel is pushed all the way forward. You can shine a light in the and see how the hole line's up. I read here, or on the other forum that if you have the mag in, it will make the barrel stay forward.

I had the barrel forward just not all the way. After I clicked the barrel up it worked smoothly. Thank you! You guys are a life saver.

I had the same problem - Thanks!

I was frustrated trying to get it back together after the cleaning, thanks, this will help! Great little pistol, though!
