Bit of a necro here, but figured it would be better to keep all info in the same thread. Has any one else had an issue with their mag "sticking" with the slide locked back? I can get smooth mag release with the slide in battery, however once locked back, I get no movement on the mag unless I pull it out by the base plate.

thats... very strange... can you see anything obviously interferei8ng with the removal inside the open chamber, or is it just friction from the frame somehow

Seems like friction, I can feel some increased friction if I lock the slide back and slowly insert the mag.

is it only when the slide is back? or does it do it when only the hammer is cocked as well

I was having mag release and insertion problems with my Les Baer to. It was hardest with the slide locked back, I loosened the trigger screw just a bit and the problem has gone away. I also polished the mags with rubbing compound to make them slick, now they drop free no problem.

I am going to be picking up one of these in a weeks time. The first thing is a new barrel.

Is there any weak areas that needs upgrading now before it breaks?

Not really. KJW's are pretty decent.

Thanks. I guess the the money I saved can go to extra mags.

I was going to try the polishing but I intend to get black mags and would prefer to keep them black. I'll give the trigger screw a shot and see if it works.

Best price I could find at the time (month or two ago).
