Having trouble replacing the slide on my PT 1911.

It came off easy enough--now only goes 1/2 way and hangs up.

Can you offer a suggestion on what I am doing wrong?

Many thanks,

Hal, are you sure you have the 'barrel link' in the forward position.

Thanks for your suggestion--but the stripped slide won't even go all the way on. It only goes fluch with the rear of the frame--then jams/sticks.

I sent the pistol into the Warranty Repair Station. Will advise what sort of service I receive as well as what the issues were.

Thanks for looking.

Received the pistol yesterday. No charge due to lifetime warranty.
No indication of the problem or what they replaced. Prompt service.

Glad to hear you got it fixed and so quick too.
