I have a new Glock 17, ser no DSK8XXUS, with less than 500 rounds thru it. Yesterday I had my first malfunction of any type -- I was of course in the process of explaining to my 23 year old nephew that Glocks NEVER jam, when it promptly elected to do so.
Here's the problem. The slide would not retract, regardless of the amount of effort. So I removed the slide and the spring and attempted to pull out the barrel. But it has a round in it -- I hate so say it but I honestly don't know if it is live or not -- and the round appears to be extending out of the barrell about 1/10th of an inch. This apparently makes it impossible to lift the barrel out.
Anyway, after tucking this baby safely away, I came home and have tried with varying degrees of vigor to get the barrell out. I have replaced the slide and again tried to rack it as a means of extracting the round. No go.
I read a thread from some time ago on avoiding future jams. But I gotta get this round out first. Any suggestions appreciated.
