Cleaning the wife's Glock 23 today. On reassembly I forgot to put the recoil spring back in. Slid the slide on and didnot notice it until it was way back on the frame. SHIT! I will not go forward. Any tips or help would be very welcome, as she is due back home soon. Thanks Windjammer

Push the slide forward with your thumb until the rear of the slide is flush with the frame. Keep the slide in that position and pull the trigger to realease the striker. Move the slide back slightly and depress the slide lock and remove the slide from the frame.

Did you get it fixed.

If I remember right form armorers class pull the trigger to get the slide to go forward.

I remember the instructor telling us cops would do it all the time.

There is a fix I just can't remember what it is.
