My pistol had 500 rounds though it. Yesterday at the range it seized after the second round fired. The empty case still in half way out of the chamber, the hammer is cocked way back, but the receiver is seized solid and wiil not moved.

The spent casing is a bit lose but cant comeout since the eject port is hald open.
I tried to pull the take out pin but it is seized solid. WTF, what to do, what went wrong?

Thanks for the input.

I suggest the following:

1. Get a vice, pads for the vice, a brass drift punch, a pencil, and a hammer.
2. Carefully, confirm that the chambered cartridge case is empty. (You can use the pencil for this.)
3. Carefully, remove the grip panels.
4. Carefully, secure the pistol's receiver in the padded vice, muzzle-up.
5. Carefully, position the brass punch against the front of the slide just below the barrel's muzzle.
6. Carefully, use the hammer to tap the brass punch against the slide.

The slide will move rearward and the case may be extracted.
 
When I see a gun that got seized solid after firing a round, I push the slide forward, not rearward.

Because the slide was moving rearward when it got stuck, odds are that whatever wedges the gun together will only get tighter if you try to move the slide further back.



This applies if there is a foreing object stuck in the gun or if you suspect a bulged barrel. If it is just a hard extraction, moving the slide rearward like Wendell said is the way to go.
 
SECOND ROUND FIRED?

Could the first have been a squib or very soft load or did it shoot normally? If you did have a squib load that got stuck in the barrel and fired a second shot it would explain the very bad things that have quite likely happened.

Also unless you can positively see the dent in the primer of the stuck casing or can confirm it is just an empty casing by using Wendell's pencil method for testing the depth of the barrel bore and confirm that it's just an empty you should treat it as a live round.
 
When I got my first Tokarev This happened a few times. I discovered it was the steel cases getting stuck. The extractor couldn't pull the case out. What I did was pull the extractor hook off the case and then push the slide backwards and hey presto the slide slid back and the casing popped out.
