Boot Posted April 20, 2019 Share Posted April 20, 2019 When inserting a new mag from slide lock, occasionally my slide will fall. While not a problem in competition, does worry me little during practice or range fun. Do see some slight wear below feed ramp as well. Any advice appreciated.

Out of Ammo Posted April 29, 2019 Share Posted April 29, 2019 Mine does as well, especially when I slam a mag in during competition. I personally don't have a problem with it. Also, I've been known to ride my slide some as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Out of Ammo Posted April 29, 2019 Share Posted April 29, 2019 I forgot to add, that the problem my be a weak mag spring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you get used to it falling in matches and then it doesn’t it sucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, but with my "occasionally" gun I just run it as if the slide was never going to go forward. If I was shooting a slide lock sport maybe it would be a thing worth fixing though.

Dyoung1987 Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 I occasionally get the slide to release if I slam the magazine in with enough force. I try not to shoot to slide-lock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mont1120 Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 Does this happen with all of your mags, or just one in particular. If it is one or two I would suspect the mag spring is weak. I have shot XDms for years. I did have a nasty problem with a case head separation issue, which turned out to be a combination of PMC brass, 180 grain leas cast, and Unique powder. It would blow the head off the brass 50% of the time, powder load was well below max. Never got the answer as to why. Use a.40 for 3 gun and have an OSP for back up to my CZ.
