At the range the other day shooting my pre-B CZ-85 for the first time. She digested the hollow points I buy just fine and two different FMJs (of course, what else do you expect from a CZ? ) However, something interesting happened. Using Mec-Gar 17 round mags, three out of four times, on the third to last round the slide stop activated itself. I'm shooting, and then suddenly the slide doesn't go back forward. I look in the ejection port and nothing looks jammed. I give the slide a little tug and she snaps back into battery and fires the remaining three rounds just fine, the slide locking back at empty. And this happened three times, the slide locked back on the third to last round.
Now, the way I hold pistols my thumb is nowhere near the slide stop on the left side and my trigger finger is down inside the trigger guard on the right (CZ85, ambi slide stop).
My theory is that the spring on the slide stop is a little weak and it's jumping up, but that the three times it happened it was all on the third-last round makes me think it may be the magazines.
