I have a new Combat Commander with steel frame. It's a series 80. The only aftermarket mod is an ambi safety. It's had maybe 150 rounds through it.
I took it to the range today. Out of 50 shots it locked open, prematurely, about 10 times.
When I say it locked open prematurely, I mean the slide lock lever engaged before the clip was empty. The slide was locked open. The magazine dropped out with no problem.
I shoot left-handed. I also wear shooting gloves. I thought at first that I was somehow inadvertently pushing the stop up.
But then I was very careful to shoot without touching the slide stop. And it still happened.
Any suggestions?
