I asked for a good picture. We can't see sh*t in that pic.
Turn it around, take a pic of the other side, one in an angle from the back, one from the top ...
From your picture, looks you need to put some muscle into it and rack that slide.

They probably don't tell enough, but I definitely have tried with all MY strength to rack the slide, with grippy gloves even.

With some guns (Many 1911s included) it is possible to pry the extractor off the round by using a small screwdriver with an 1/8" or so wide blade. That may let you get the clide off, maybe. If it's an empty case, you can drive it our with a brass rod and a hammer. If it's a live round doing so can be dangerous because the primer can hit something when the case comes out.
Once the case is out, you need to inspect the barrel and extractor for damage.

No shame in calling it quits when live ammo and smacking guns is involved. Give Greg Derr of Derr Precision a call, he is known for 1911s, but this may be in his comfort level to help you out.

If Greg Derr cannot fix it, it cannot be done.

I was thinking the same thing.
I'm assuming when op said "round" stuck, he means a live round, not an empty cartridge.
Needless to say, if we're talking live round, make sure you take every possible precaution while smacking the slide around.

Sell it "as is" and buy two or three Caniks with the proceeds ;-)
Good for you for knowing when to tap out and seek help...some of us are much to stubborn to admit defeat....and usually pay a price for it.

Update:
Called over to Shawsheen in Billerica and they told me to come on in. One of the guys took it to the back and less than few minutes later he got it unstuck. The round appeared normal looking and the primer had been struck, but obviously it didn't fire. Attached are images of the round in question. Regardless, big thanks to Shawsheen over Billerica and to all who contributed to this thread thus far.

Parroting others, don't try to force into battery.
Put the front of the slide/sight on the edge of a table and push down frame with bodyweight. Could also smack the back of the frame with a mallot.

Nice! Forgot about Vinny at Shawsheen. Glad it worked out.
Hard to say from the photos but obviously something is off with that round. I'm going to guess it won't pass the "plunk" test. Remove the shadow 2 barrel from the slide and drop the round in and see if it goes into the chamber completely and if you're able to twist/rotate the round with your fingers while it's in the chamber. I would bet you won't be able to.
CZ‘s are famous for having unnecessarily short chambers. If that round looked normal I’d take a close look at the chamber, perhaps drop some 9mm gauges in there to ensure it closes on a go.
its also creepy that the firing mechanism allowed a primer hit. My beloved 92 or glock would be unlikely to actuate the sear while that far out-of-battery. Not good to have that round fire if the action is already open.

That photo tends to suggest that it is possible to lift the extractor off the rim with a small screwdriver.

Would pb blaster help at all?

No I wont. I'm not pressing on the blade of the sight, but the leading edge of the slide where the sight slides in.

Unless your wife has a large ins policy she doesn't know aboutit is a solid metal frame. with glocks you need to use a wooden plank at the base of the grip - here you just turn gun vertical, barrel looking up and not into your face, grab slide very firmly in your hand, and then smack the handgrip at the wooden bench where you are firing.
if you use any turkish ammo it will become a routine as they have shitload of non-concentric rounds that stuck like that. venom stucks like that all the time.
smacking it with your hand like video shows - good luck with that. if you are home - well, a rubber mallet is more gentle than a wooden bench at the range, but, i would not be doing it at home in the basement.
