Rookie mistake

[gabriel_]

I’m still getting the hang of things, so please bear with me

I accidentally put my P365X together without the recoil spring, and now it’s all locked up. What should I do?

Perhaps, Wright Armory in Mesa. They might get it correct on-the-spot, and if you're lucky...
on-the-arm.

What I’ve found works best is to pull the slide back smoothly while giving the back a quick palm tap. Each time I’ve done this, it has come free without any hassle. I’ve also tried clamping the frame gently in a padded vise to hold it steady, then eased the slide off.
