I have a new-to-me 669. It has a bit of holster wear, but otherwise it looks fine.
There's no visible wear on the ramp or barrel interior. But it seems a bit dirty.
The slide action seems smooth and tight. There is no lateral movement.
Before I take it for a drive, I wanted to strip/clean it.
I checked to make certain the barrel was clear, and it was unloaded.
I got the slide stop out -- no problem here.
My problem: When I push the slide (barrel assembly) forward, it will not move forward more than 0.5in or so. It's like it gets stuck at that point.
The slide moves forward just enough to allow the hammer to fall.
Any suggestions here?
I did not field strip it before I bought it. Perhaps that was a mistake...
