Mag emptied and reloaded (12)
Spring is still VERY strong, no issues there as far as I can tell.
Still no luck on the safety, even with WD-40, at this time.
Just empty the magazine and leave it empty until you have the gun functional. You don't need it to reload itself with a fresh round after you puncture your nearest wall if there is still a round in the chamber.
What you are using the empty magazine for is to just make sure internal safeties are disengaged while you try to get motion out of the external safety or slide.
You might have to hose it down fairly heavily with the WD 40 and let it sit overnight to penetrate. Once it has penetrated, you may still have to lightly peck the safety lever to break it loose. I mean VERY lightly peck it - you don't want to break it. Just some light "taptaptaps" to see it it will move at all, even a little bit.

Diogenes was eating bread and lentils for supper. He was seen by the philosopher Aristippus, who lived comfortably by flattering the king.
Said Aristippus, ‘If you would learn to be subservient to the king you would not have to live on lentils.’ Said Diogenes, ‘Learn to live on lentils and you will not have to be subservient to the king.’
