Okay, so I own a Smith & Wesson 908. I went to clean it this morning, and somehow when I was putting the slide back on, I managed to mess it up such that the guide rod was sticking out too far from the end, but I couldn't get the slide back off to fix it (it was hung up on something).
So (after attending an all-day CHL class, for which I used a loaner gun) I got back home and fiddled with it, and managed to get the slide off and reassemble it and all that good stuff. However, being relatively new to handguns and not mechanically inclined, I want to make sure everything's all right.
When the slide is locked back, I can kind of wiggle the barrel around a little bit (back and forth, side to side). Also, when I retract the slide, the barrel doesn't seem to tilt up, although I don't remember to what degree it tilted up before I managed to mess it up.
Anyone know what's going on here?! I have a tendency for being mechanically disinclined =(.
