    I disassembled my Radom for cleaning and when I went to re-assemble it, I forgot to pull the recoil guide rod our slightly before inserting the slide release pin. The second I let the slide go, it shot a 1/2" forward of where it should and locked up. I know I screwed up but can somebody tell me how to get the upper slide loose? Thanks in advance.

    In all seriousness, it's based on the Hi-Power and 1911 actions, so it shouldn't be too FUBAR. And besides, it's a Polish pistol issued to Poles; SOMEBODY has done this before...

    Just kidding, but for real. Try pushing the barrel back to try to get it to unlock. May have to wiggle a bit and apply some mild persuasion with love taps. I don't think there's a real big following on here, so unless someone has done this exact thing before you, it will just be tinkering to figure it out. Best of luck to you :)
