ok guys...thoughts on how to fix this

[maxmayhem]

well im in florida not greenwood lol - florida folks are not know for reading manuals clearly- i dont know how he did this- i dont have the firearm just a pic he sent me

This is actually quite common. NHT3 can most likely tell you how to do it properly.
Elmores is familiar with this problem as well. Let Jason fix it. It won't take him but a couple of minutes.

thanks for your help - if he wants to sell it for 20 bucks know i will be keeping it

Easy fix.. it's trash now, so I'll take it off his hands for scrap value. $20 for a paperweight sound fair?

 

[maxmayhem]

thats my plan-but hoping someone had experience with this kind of idiocy

Well, you laid the tracks. All you have to do is back the train up

 

[maxmayhem]

what?!? its a glock not a wet cell phone lol

Anyone know if he tried a bowl of uncoiled rice?

I’m going with taking the back plate off and release the striker, everything should free up.

Every time I hear that I think of the movie Something about Mary where Ben Stiller gets the franks and beans stuck in his zipper. I laugh and cringe at the same time.

Beat it off with a mallet it'll be fine

Yes this most definitely should work. I'd try that first, then maybe try all the other mentions on here. I'd be careful telling him to use a hammer of any kind knowing how he isn't gentle on things. Lol

Remove the rear slide plate and relieve the spring pressure.

BINGO! We have a winner.
This is also helpful if you only get one side of the slide on the frame and it locks up.

The owner is an idiot and a good example of why the famous saying: You can’t fix stupid! exists. I would agree with the rubber mallet technique hitting the rear to the front.

....dude

A little difficult to diagnose from a picture but from what I see I would remove the slide cover plate and tap it with a soft hammer. Just the soft hammer and gentle tapping should do it but I would remove the cover plate just to be on the safe side. Obviously got in a bit of a hurry on reassembly.

Followed by, "we got a bleeder".

I don't see the problem? Mine always looks like that.

Come to think of it, I always wondered why I always miss high.

OP - so what was the conclusion?
