I just purchased my CW9. I have right at 200 rounds through it and love it. I got some different defensive loads to try in it yesterday.
Fast forward to disassembly and cleaning last night. I just basically field stripped it (just like the first day I got it and cleaned it), cleaned, oiled and began to reassemble.
However, I had a MASSIVELY difficult time getting the recoil spring back in. Finally got it back in and now cannot get the slide to move at all without a Herculean effort. Even then it only moves far enough to get the takedown pin in.
I cannot figure out the issue so any input is appreciated. Not just on fixing the issue, but not making the mistake, again!
Thanks in advance.
** I have this posted on KahrTalk, also, but figured I would get a faster response here.
