Hello all. This just started happening after years and tons of rounds. Magazine going in fine, rack the slide and it apparently hits the mag. Remove mag and reinsert - sometimes it works other times I have to do a few times to get slide into battery. Have not inspected mag yet, but any suggestions on what to look for?

 

Thanks

Hi Mintbore,

Check the "lips" on the mag. Also, if you have a mag that you know is good, compare the two. I'm betting the loading lips are bent.

Try another mag, before trying anything else.

Update: took it to the range yesterday. The slide catches when it is released from the locked open position. If I rack the slide from battery over an inserted mag, it closes fine. Now I'm wondering if it's something with the slide release(??)
