So last night I took out my trp and I racked the slide about 3-4 times dropped the hammer twice then other two de cocked it with thumb, on the 5 rack I positioned it to be able to remove the take down pin I pushed on it and popped out just a bit not wanting to take it out all the way I just pushed back in.
Here is where problem started as I pushed the take down pin back in I tried to rack it one more time and was super stiff did not want to go past the hammer so I had to push it back. So Then I removed the take down pin this time to remove slide to see if I could find issue.
Upon removing slide I noticed that the guide rod section that is curved to sit on barrel was sitting on its side I was like how the hell that happen so I put it back how it should be, so now I put slide back on and as the back end of slide reached the hammer it got super stiff again not wanting to go past the hammer so I remove the guide rod and barrel and put slide only still binds as it reaches the hammer.
Gun has about 100 rounds first time taken apart i see no areas where there could be scraping on frame rails if that is correct term.
Racked just fine by hand felt no binding and type of person I am it's going to be bugging me all day. I have another trp half rail when I get home going to swap slides and see what happens.
Going to call Springfield but figured maybe someone had same issue
Update .. So upon closer inspection I found a small burr on the inside notch where the take down pin goes how it got there is beyond me so I'm going to carefully sand it down should fix issues.
Looked at frame rails and all good glad it didn't cause damage.
