Hey guys,
I just picked up my G43 second hand. I field stripped it to give it a good cleaning. Upon reassembly, the slide would not fill return to its normal seated position, and he barrel and recoil spring were sticking out of the front slightly. The trigger was reset, so I was unable to get the slide off without a dry fire. I was able to dry fire it, but it definitely required more effort than a normal trigger pull. Once I did, the slide was able to be removed and the gun reassembled prooperly. I racked the slide several times and did multiple dry fires to check it. Everything seems to function and sound okay. Any chance I did any damage here to anything?
