Help! Ruger P95 slide stuck

[iceberg]

So, was teaching youngest son how to clean handguns after a range day. My guess is that he stuck the slide/barrel retention pin where it wasn't supposed to go and or didn't have the ejector pushed down when he was reassembling the gun. I'm not really sure all I know is it's stuck. I can't really pull the slide back and forth much, the barrel isn't where it's supposed to be and I can't take the pin out in order to start the process all over again... It's pretty stuck too. Any advice before I send it back to Ruger?

Call a local gunsmith. He can probably do it faster with no shipping hassles.
But having grabbed my P89, I doubt you could reassemble with the extractor up.

I reassembled mine once with the extractor up, I had to move the slide back as far as I could and use a bamboo skewer to push it down to disassemble then reassemble properly. Yes I was a pain. Not sure just how long it took but it was a while.

If a P89 is the same as a P95... Yes, yes you can.

Apparently its not. The extractor sticks up and wont allow the slide to move back because it hits the back of the slide below the firing pin.
I guess they redesigned it more than I realized it.

Then that's a good thing, like I said it took awhile not sure just how long but a while, and there were many swear words involved. There is probably an easier way than I did it.

Okay, I did some thinking and a google search... After fighting with it a while, I just pushed it forward enough to get behind it through the magazine well with a hook. That was much easier.

Thanks. With some wiggling I can get the extractor to go back down but still just as jammed

Any suggestions?

Yeeaaahhhh...this is gonna have to go to a gunsmith or Ruger. I have a sinking suspension that this is gonna involve popping out some frame pins at least in order to reverse disassemble. No big deal except that I've never done a full disassembly on it so I'm clueless as to how everything links up inside.. Well, never breaking/disabling a gun through honest mistakes just means you ain't shooting/trying hard enough, right?!?

Did son learn anything?
