Dissasembled and cleaned the new M&P 45 and for some reason, the slide will not go back on the frame. The sear disconnect is down and the slide gets to a certain point and will not go on all the way. This my third M&P and have never experienced this issue, what can be wrong? The recoil spring and guide rod are properly seated, the take down lever is down and the sear disconnect is down. What could be stopping the slide? When I put pressure in attempt to reconnect the slide with the frame, the trigger moves a bit so I stop the use of force.



Any ideas would be appreciated.

Got it back on. Had to depress the stryker retaining pin to push the stryker forward. Once I performed this additional step, the slide went on and function tested fine. So, why is this necessary as compared to my full-size M&P 9 and M&P 40? What am I missing here?
