I have a yet unfired CT45 whose slide will not move after I did the following: 1. locked back the slide, 2. loaded a magazine with three dummy rounds (Realistic Snap Caps), 3. inserted the magazine into the magazine well and 4. released the slide, which did not move fully forward into battery, as is evident in the photo. I was able to release the magazine.

Is this to be solved with a solved mallet? Am I the true dummy? Please advise.
