I was shooting my 9mm M&P tonight and the slide jammed when it was traveling backwards as it was opening to eject the case. The case mouth was just barely inside the chamber. And the slide would not move in either direction.
The case was loose enough that i could force the mouth of the case down and out through the magazine opening.
The slide still would not move forward or back. An the slide was tight with no wiggle in any direction.
FINELY i did get the slide to move forward into battery. I did it by putting pressure on the muzzle rearward. Then the spring would force the slid into battery. Again i tried to move the slide from full battery to full ejection open. Again the slide would only open as far back as before which showed about 1/2 " of the barrel.
After multiple working of the slide by hand it always stopped and locked in the same place. The only way to get the slide to move back into battery was put pressure on the muzzle rearward, or if i put downward pressure on the back of the barrel in the slide opening where the cartridge marking is. When i move the barrel to release the slide there is always a snap like something is moving inside.
I don't know if it important. When i try to work the slide by hand. The muzzle moves back about a 1/4 of an inch as the back of the barrel starts to drop down
