Hey all, just spent the evening tinkering with one of my magazines, I fixed the existing problem (base pad would slide out of place when being seated) but while testing this, I noticed that I could get the slide to slam shut when I put a new magazine in.
Now, first off, the force with which I was seating this magazine was probably well over the amount of force I would ever really use to put in a new magazine. The magazine also had a snap cap in the top, I wonder if I am jarring the frame/slide enough to get the slide to close.
Can anybody do this with their auto-loaders? I have a feeling that I'm just defeating the design of the slide lock with brute force, rather than encountering a problem.
Edit---
I also noticed I can slap the bottom of the magwell pretty hard and get the slide to close on an empty chamber/no magazine. Yet I decided to try this on the 1911 and I can't seem to do it.
