Slide won't release
Posted: July 17th, 2006, 12:34 pm
Recently bought a P-64 with one magazine. Love the accuracy on SA and how compact it is.
On SA the P-64 shot great. But when I put in a full clip, when I pull the slide back to load it locks in the open position. To get the slide to close after pulling it back, I have to push on the magazine which then causes the slide to release. I figure it might be something
with the magazine.
Couple of interesting things with this: It doesn't do it (lock in the
open/back position) if the magazine only has 2 or 3 rounds in it, and
when I fire it DA the slide usually would lock open until
I push on the magazine which would again cause the slide to
release.
Anyone else have any experience with this, or any suggestions?
If I buy a new magazine, what are the chances that it will do the same thing with the new one, or it this likely to be the cure?
