I have 75B and a PCR, never experienced this condition.
Auto forwarding is not normal with "most" brands of pistol.
Oh sure if you slam the mag in hard enough just about any gun will do it, but under normal conditions this should not happen.
But not 100%, so it is not reliable.My department-issued MP 9 does it near 100%
Good god, what kind of department is this? You are counting on inducing a malfuction (slam charging is a malfunction) and wasting time in doing so.we actually train to vigorously insert during mag changes to increase the chance of it happening

Some designs are reliable about 'slam charging', i've been able to do it consistently on beretta 92s but that aside it isn't reliable cross platform and even within some platforms with all the pistols."slam charging" will occur on just about any autoloader, if you hit it hard enough.
It is not reliable and should not be relied upon.
+1 They say in an emergency or even great stress(IDPA) you fall back to the level of your training. Why learn bad habits when that muscle memory can come back and bite you.numerous people waste time, whacking the bottom of the seated magazine, trying to get the weapon to slam charge instead of using a 100%reliable means of sending the slide forward (slingshot/slide release).
1SOW said:Sir you contradict yourself.
Why would you want a pistol in the condition of slide locked open with a loaded mag inserted?
The top bullet in the mag is bumping the slide up and releasing it from the the slide stop.
It's NOT a problem.
No competitive shooters that I shoot with have done this.On the other hand, several shooters I've talked with and watched compete (people who shoot for a living, i.e., nstructors, USPSA shooters who are paid to shoot by sponsors) apparently modify their weapons so that the slide closes when the mag is inserted. They took what you consider a "mal" function and made it a "proper" function.
