Exclamation HELP - XD-40 5" assembly error

After cleaning, I put the slide on without the barrel, guide rod and spring.

Now I cant get the slide to come back off. Any ideas?

Point the gun down push the back of the slide even with the frame and pull the trigger.

I did it too when I first got my XD.
Just wanted to see how everything goes together.
See how the slide rides on the rails without the barrel in it.
We're men, that's what we do...............

Thumbs up Resolved!

Thanks everyone! I just put a little more pressure on it (as if the spring were still in it) while sliding it off and pulling the trigger.

Just one of those things.. Just forgot to put it back in... Duhhhh

Thanks again for the help!
