A friend presented me a Ruger P 97DC that he wanted me to look over for him to make sure it was safe to shoot.
I've never held one, but it's built much like any other DA/SA semi auto out there so I told him no problem.
Well, I ran into a problem.
Mag out-check
Unloaded-check
Pull slide back and remove takedown pin- check
Here's the problem, the slide won't come off of the frame.
I've tried decocking, nope
Pulling trigger, nope
There isn't much else, but the slide stops in battery and trigger operates both single and double action, but the slide will not budge forward.
If you try to pull the slide back, it locks up on the frame and I have to hit the slide hard with the heal of my palm to get it to jump back into battery, but it still doesn't come off the frame.
What can I do?
