All,
I was shooting my 9 mm CZ-85B and my Springfield Micro GI last week when the CZ experienced a couple of "failures" I could not explain.
Using two different magazines of WWB 115 gr. FMJs, the slide locked back in the middle of the magazine (near round 8 of 15). I just had to release the slide stop to continue shooting, but it seemed strange. I have put several hundred rounds through this gun using the same magazines and WWB load without any problems.
The slide stop spring did not seem overly loose, and worked fine during the rest of the session.
Possible theories:
1. The magazines are relatively cheap aftermarket Pro-Mags from CDNN bought to replace the single 10 rounder supplied w/ the gun in 1999. Maybe they are acting-up, but how?
2. After shooting my compact .45, my hand may be used to a position that places my trigger finger near the slide stop lever and pushes on it slightly during recoil (Note: I am left-handed).
Any other theories would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Hunter
