Hey NES, I recently picked up a gen 4 G17 from another NES'er. I went to the range today and got off approximately 8 rounds before I experienced what I thought was a simple failure to feed. I tried to rack the slide but it would only move the slightest bit. I dropped the magazine and tried to rack the slide again but no such luck. The slide is stuck about 1/4 inch back. My friend, who witnessed all this happen, tried to clear the jam as well but to no avail. We used as much force as we could dare because we're almost certain that the round is live. We eventually stopped screwing with it and decided we need some professional help.
So, fellow NES'ers, which gunsmith would you recommend for solving this kind of issue? I live just outside of Boston so hopefully I can find someone local. Thanks for the help!

P.S. For those who are interested, I was using factory American Eagle 115gr FMJ's in a U-notched pre-ban magazine.
