I recently purchased a S&W made PPK/S, brand new. I have previously fired a friend's ppk, and decided on it as my new summer carry gun.
When I brought it home I started to go through the drill of reading the manual, then strip/clean it before heading to the range. Only problem is, I can't get the slide off the frame.
Remove magazine and check chamber... check.
Pull trigger guard down and to the side... check.
Pull slide all the way to rear until it stops... check.
Lift rear of slide off frame... nope, can't do it. Dunno why.
Any thoughts or recommendations, before I take it back to the store, screaming??
