    I know it feels that way. That's exactly how mine felt as well. I got mad and ripped it open. That gun only cost me $200 though, so I understand you're more hesitant.

    Drive it out with a dowel on a hard surface inserted in the muzzle end pull on the slide at the same time as you push down with the grip hand.

    Great news, the slide is now free! I was able to fix the problem! I am kind of pissed that this happened with a new firearm, however. I am happy to have it taken care of.

    I don't make the rules. I just think them up and write them down.

    I am glad that you were able to fix the issue.

    Look in the chamber to make sure that there is nothing in there that may be the cause of this issue. I recently saw a new gun that was shipped with a piece of a brass case stuck in the chamber.

    I see nothing at the moment, but believe me that this pistol is getting a thorough scrub down.

    If your chamber is clear, you may want to do a "plunk" test with a few live cartridges before you reassemble your gun. It is also possible that this particular dummy round was manufactured out of spec.

    I came here to post exactly this! I never knew to do this with my Kel-tec, but I wish that I had tried it while I still had it. With my Kel-tec, it would manually extract live rounds slightly easier than the snap caps, but it fired everything just fine. Honestly, it's probably just because it's a brand new gun and still pretty stiff.

    Like this plunk test? It does look like the dummy round could have been out of spec.

    This is the first time I've ever had this happen with a new pistol. Possibly because of the size and the strength of recoil spring? So I take it that I should probably only use dummy rounds after shooting it a bit first?
