Had a bad morning I guess. I was trying out a 9mm replacement barrel at a range, and decided to put the .40 barrel back in it. Not paying attention to what I was doing, I put the barrel in upside down !! Now it's all tied up and I cannot get the slide off of it to get it back to normal. Any ideas how to get the slide off ??

If somehow you got the slide to lock onto the frame with the barrel like this, you’re going to have to remove the takedown lever, drive the pins out for the trigger, front locking block, and rear locking block so that you can remove the lower from the slide.

You may have re-engaged the sear. If you know its empty, try pulling the trigger

Kurusty.....you nailed it !! I worked on it for an hour or two, and finally figured out how to get it all apart and back together right !

Glad to hear it! You might want to check the top locking surfaces on your barrel that was in there, just to be safe, I doubt that it did anything though.
