I'm hoping this is just an issue with me and not the gun. I just got a lightly used CW9 and took it shooting for the first time. I put about 50 WWB through it with no problems and then tried 147gr Gold Dots and the issues started. The magazine would randomly pop loose and I had the slide lock back a couple times even though there were still rounds in the magazine. I'm thinking that the Gold Dots have some more recoil which made my thumb either hit the magazine button or slide catch. Being such a skinny gun, my thumb rests much closer to both controls than any other gun I've shot. What do you guys think? Gun or shooter problem? I tried curling my thumb down away from the controls but I only had a few more Gold Dots left so trying that was inconclusive.
For comparison...

Sig P5 (thumb looks close to the magazine release but it's recessed and not close)
Arcus 98C
