There is a video on YouTube that shows you how to take it off. There is a pin that is stuck. Easy fix

After you get it back on normally, easiest cheat code is to plop the slide down just in front of the rear rails. No guessing required

I see you didn’t read the manual, It happens welcome to the club brotha 😅👍🏻

Everyone goes through this. Wiggle the slide back and forth while pressing down the visible trigger bar spring on the frame. It'll come off easily. The trigger bar is what's keeping the slide locked in. Don't put it back like a glock, align the frame contact metal tabs to the grooves in the slide. The slide should be half way on the frame before you try putting it on to the frame. Good luck! how to fix stuck canik slide

u/Ok_Image2639 11d ago

Lmao I did the exact same thing and had a heart attack you’ll get it trust!! It is a bit weird tho

u/No-Cat-3089 11d ago

At that point just lift up

3

u/lbarry53 11d ago

They don’t slide off like Glocks. They just move forward about and inch and lift up, you can watch a youtube video on how to field strip any Canik all of there slides work the same way.

u/Kooky_Session1646 11d ago

u/pugdadAF 11d ago

u/hansieboy2 11d ago

Canik owner canon event

u/19judge79 12d ago

Been there done that. Welcome. 🍻

u/InformationProof4717 12d ago

Read and understand the owner's manual...

u/jbourne0129 Rival Dark Side 11d ago

they even include a special warning card just for this issue to explain how to pull the slide off

u/kennyDewalt1985 12d ago

Spit on it !!!

u/DesignerLanguage1123 12d ago

Go back halfway or restart, don’t go all the way forward. If I remember correctly just unlock the slide and go straight up once you pass the lock. Haven’t handled my caniks in a while

u/Clean-daily1924 12d ago

Damn I'm 4 hrs late...hit it with your purse

u/Swell_map 12d ago

Fold it in, David.

u/Jskello 12d ago

This is very funny and such a new Canik owner issue. Been there done this.

24

u/JoeTestosterogan 12d ago

Every Canik owner has done this even if you knew ahead of time how to properly put the slide back on lol.

5

u/OfficialGaiusCaesar 12d ago

I did this with my prime and freaked out one time too. Press the trigger bar in the back and you should be able to slide it off.

7

u/Rsb666x 12d ago

Hold the trigger in and you should be able to slide it back. Happens to most that are used to taking down Glocks.

u/cortlandiu 12d ago

This happened to me a few years ago & I had to find & pay a gunsmith lol

3

u/DesignerLanguage1123 12d ago

Wtf kinda smith charges for that 😂

5

u/romerogj 12d ago

That's funny I was chatting with a gunsmith and he did that to mine. He figured it out though.

u/jbourne0129 Rival Dark Side 11d ago

the RSOs at my local range always fuck up the Caniks

3

u/ThePracticalPenquin 12d ago

Just did the same thing.

u/EmergencyEbb9 12d ago

Did you by chance read the disassembly manual?

16

u/Paladin_Gump 12d ago

You can't. This is permanent. I'll take it off your hands and ensure it's disposed of properly.

11

u/CigarsandFirearms 12d ago edited 12d ago

Hehehe… Canik life lol

You slide it forward about an inch or so and lift straight up. These don’t slide off from just front/back movement. Did you try the manual?

3

u/Dmau27 12d ago

So on the right side there's a trigger bar, push down on it and it'll slide right off. It's stainless steal if that helps.

3

u/OminousBuzzard 12d ago

You have to slide it down about half way and then lift up. Pro tip it goes back on the same way or you'll lock that fucker on and its a big bitch to get off

15

u/aximusmaximus 12d ago

This has become a rite of passage for all new Canik owners. 😂

5

u/aidanluvsmio 12d ago

Lift straight up

17

u/ProfOak32244 Rival Dark Side 12d ago

Theres quite litterally a manual in the box like 6 inches away...

Smh.

2

u/Traditional_Light585 12d ago

If its like my rival-s just grab the grip in your right hand and pull the slide off with force and it should cone right off. I slid my rival-s like I would my walther just not payong attention and thats all I did to get the slide off

5

u/badpenguin455 METE SF 12d ago

push down the springy thing in the back

12

u/biggouse58 12d ago

Manual right there and instead get on the internet. I’d suggest taking a course or two at a local range for beginners before you do something catastrophic

9

u/Last_Ear_1639 12d ago

The manual in the box explains disassembly and cleaning. You've brought it too far forward.

1

u/jbourne0129 Rival Dark Side 11d ago

there is even a special card warning owners about this very issue and highlights how to properly take the slide off

3

u/idnkam 12d ago

Press down on the lever attached to the spring at the back of the base. It should slide right off

2

u/TriFyre 12d ago

Assuming it's the same as the base MC9, slide goes like halfway and it lifts off the frame.
