If it's new you'll have lots of fun pushing down on the lever. The lever is likely still caught on the slide.
You're going to need to rack the slide back and the pull down as hard as you can and just let the slide spring forward.
Seems like this is intentional by design. Dont smack it with a hammer just let the slide return to battery and if it jumps over the slide release lever you're golden. Otherwise you just have to pull harder.
