Help! Something is wrong with my CZ75b

I got my brand new CZ75b Tactical from the dealer last night, and did a quick field strip to clean the preservative off of it. I popped the snap cap in after I cleaned it and it functioned fine. I loaded it up with some cor-bon 115 gr rounds, and tucked it away for the night. Now, when I try to move the slide back to remove the chambered round, it moves back just past the notches you line up to dissasemble it, and locks. The barrel seems to be moving back with the slide. It won't move past that point, won't eject the round. What should I do? Should I try to disassemble it?
Unfortunately, taking it to the dealer is not an option, as I bought it ~80mi away.

remove the magazine, and just apply a little more pressure racking the slide, and the extractor should pop it(bullet) out.

Well, I field stripped it again and was able to remove the barrel with the bullet still in it. I (very very carefully) was able to pull the round out with a pair of pliers. Nothing seemed wrong, except the round was very snugly fit in the barrel. I reassembled it and it once again functions fine with the snap cap. I think I'll leave it unloaded until I get a chance to break it in at the range. Thanks for the advice!

Although Ive never had this happen...except some "Way quality Silver Bear locking my guns togethor", like you had happen...only after I fired the rounds though.
CZ's have tight chambers..not the tightest but pretty tight. Corbon has had a reputation of being 'a tad out of spec" once in a while also. If you got a tight toleranced chamber and some on the verge of being oversized ammo.....that would explain it.
Also if you put the same rounds through "feeding drill" or loading the mag multiple times with the same ammo and running it through the gun by racking the slide...to check for proper feeding (Ive done this alot)...you compress the bullet down into the case a little and can make it slightly bigger than its supposed to be. This would not help your situation.
The CZ has a pretty steep feedramp and the bullets will ALWAYS chamber but is hard on some profile of JHP's when cycled many times without firing them.
Shoot well...........................

ahh, just go buy some winchester white box and shoot it.
[edited to add something constructive:]
Do this. Strip it and take the barrel out. Drop a live round into the chamber. It should fall out or slide out with little resistance. If it's tight, then it may be slightly oversized shell casings.

Make certain you have a firm grip on the slide, and rack it with authority. Due to the slide running inside the frame there is less to grip, and you may not be holding it firmly enough when you rack it.
I doubt you have any problems - update us when you can.

to verify it is CLEAN and burr free. When you cycle rounds in and out of the chamber are there any pronounced scratches? It has been noted that certian bullet profiles actually impact(negatively) the rifling in CZ's. The only ones I've heard this about are the really heavy Speer Gold dots 140ish gr I think. I read about it on this forum so do a search.
You could also have a reloader buddy inspect the ammo you have to see if it is out of spec.
