I posted this in the Smith Work forum, not sure if it will get answered there. So, I cleaned up the full size 9mm, and reassembled the recoil spring and guide rod onto the barrel and slide. When I replaced the slide onto the frame, it came back like normal, but the barrel and guide rod still protrude @ 1/2 " past the end of the barrel, and the slide won't come forward. It seems as if the barrel is hung up, can't see anything though. Any Ideas ??

Issue has been resolved. The tip of the guide rod must not have been seated in the recess completely, and it came out, preventing the slide from moving any further. I removed the take down roll pin, and the trigger assy. rollpin, and lifted the slide off, and fixed the problem. Put back together, and good for 100 rounds no problems.

I'm glad you got it worked out.
