My Kimber does not do this, which is probably a good thing. I could see something like this eventually damaging the slide stop on a 1911 type pistol.
Apocalypse-Now said:saying it's consistent when "you jam it in hard enough" does not mean it's consistent, and is therefore not a feature.
paul34 said:Some pistols are designed to do this. From memory, I believe the Beretta 92 will do this, but only if you send the magazine home at an angle. If you send it home at a direct 90 degree angle, the slide will stay put.
My XD does not do this.
It could speed up a reload, but isn't completely necessary. Just one of those things.
is it in the manual?the feature is incorporated into certain production runs of the Bersa Thunder 9 Pro but not others.
Correct. Every HK I own will do this, especially if I tilt the handgun to its side when slamming the mag.
While this will work many times, it's not something I would practice, simply because the one time you would count on it, it wouldn't work.
