I was shooting yesterday and first had one failure to extract the last empty cartridge. I thought no problem. Loaded another magazine and fired a few rounds and then the gun just locked up. I pulled the trigger and the hammer would not fall and I also cannot engage the safety (no decocker, just safety model). I could get the magazine out with no problem but could not pull the slide back far enough to get the live round out of the chamber. I then carefully pulled the slide stop lever out to see if I could push the slide off the gun. I was able to pull the slide back enough to get the slide stop out. I was unable to push the slide off the frame. I tried to engage the safety and also pull the trigger and everything still locked up.
So after I figured out I could not fix the problem I carefully put the gun in a thumb snap holster to cover the trigger and block the firing pin from the hammer.
What could cause this problem? A broken extractor or spring, trigger spring?
I will be taking this to a gunsmith very soon. It has already been worked on once by a gunsmith in town, then sent to CZ for new extractor springs and extractor worked on, polished chamber. Kind of frustrating to have a problem like this and I can't even unload the gun or put it on safe.
