Hi Unregistered,

On July 29th, this site will be moving..! No, really - it's "moving" to another physical location - including servers, gateways, routers - everything - including my coffee cup...

So, from the date of July 29th through July 30 or 31 (shooting for these dates, but - as always, I'm at the mercy of my ISP who has to install the lines to the new location - and we actually get them running ;) ). But - this site, cloud servers and main web will be OFF LINE.

Now, please save these dates!! Please - don't be "that guy" who emails me on the 30th to tell me you "can't open the Parker Website". I'll already know it is offline - and also know that you are "that guy"...

I'll take this notice up and down over the next week or so - and leave it up during the final few days before shutting it off on the 29th..

John D.

Jack,
I have a DHE that does this all of the time. I have taken it apart just as many times after I push the pin and there is no resistance. One day after pushing the pin with no resistance I put the muzzles on the top of my shoe and tapped the floor plate with a leather mallet about 8-10 times and the slide released and the barrels came off. I then again took the gun apart trying to find where it was getting stuck but could not find the culprit. So now when I reach for this gun I also reach for the leather mallet as I know once I cock it the slide will stick and the barrels will not come off without some tapping on the floor plate. My gun is from 1889 and had the ejectors retro fit by Parker later. I have wondered if that has something to do with the slide sticking on my gun. If you have a chance, try this and let me know if it works.

Patrick
