My cousin called me with a situation. He isn't the most knowledgeable when it comes to firearms. He has a Ruger 9mm handgun that has a live factory round in the chamber and he can't get the slide back! The round is in full battery - slide completely forward. First thing I asked him was "did chamber and rechamber the round several times"? Thinking he may have stove piped it and made the case out of round. He said no it was a fresh new round. Then I asked him how long the round was in there. He said probably a couple months. Knowing him I then asked if his gun was cleaned and lubricated to which he responded yes.
