When I was placing the slide back on the frame, the slide locked up halfway back and now will only move about 1/4 inch in either direction.
I cannot remove the slide. Any help before I send it to HK?

Did you install the recoil spring assembly incorrectly?

Push down on the rear of the slide when mounting the slide on the frame.

When you look at the gun from the rear does the slide seem like it's a little high?

 

[kcsteve]

That was my first thought.
The recoil spring assembly is assembled correctly, hook to hook, so to speak.

This is a first for me. I have taken apart and reassembled guns for over 50 years.
It's a brand new gun. I think that something came loose inside and has it locked up.
I called HK and I'm sending it back to HK to let them look at it.
Thanks for the replies.

Let us know the outcome please when you can. I've done that before but it wasn't locked up to the extent you're describing.

I'm sending it back after Christmas. I will give an update.

If HK is paying I would send it in. If not I would try a local gunsmith.

The firing pin, drop safety roll pin was missing and had the slide jammed up. That's all I know.
There and back in three days. HK customer service is the best.

Good to see the quick turnaround.

Wait. They forgot to install the FP/FPB roll-pin and it passed QC?

We don't know the provinence of the OP's P30L-whether he was the original owner, for starters, and whether he or anyone else had previously detailed disassembled and then reassembled the gun.

I'd suggest not jumping to any hasty conclusions/assumptions in the absence of more detailed information from the OP. Regardless, kudos to HK's Customer Service.

Best, Jon

Well, maybe. He did say it was a brand-new gun.
