I posted an earlier thread about the 1911 compact I inherited from an uncle. Sorry I don't know how to link to that thread. I have cleaned and reassembled the gun, even used it at the range and it has seemed fine. Today I was showing it to a friend, dropped the mag (usually don't keep anything in the chamber) and attempted to pull the slide to check - the slide will only move a few millimeters forward or back! Attempted to disassemble the gun, was able to take the front bushing off, but only one spring will come out.
What have I done, and is it something that I can likely fix? Or do I need to see a gunsmith or someone more knowledgeable? I am *reasonably* certain the gun is unloaded, but cannot check obviously.
Any thoughts are appreciated.
