Hello,
I'm the proud owner of a new 92FS compact and I've encountered a bit of an issue, so I'm reaching out for some advice. I've taken the 92 to the range three times and fired a total of 400 rounds. The problem occurs when I load fresh magazines with the slide locked back. When I insert the magazine and press the slide lock down, the slide often gets stuck as it tries to close. Usually, a tap on the magazine resolves it and chambers the round. This issue only arises when changing magazines with the slide open, and so far, there haven't been any other feeding problems.
Interestingly, this only happens at the range. Today, it occurred with the first magazine I loaded and several others afterward, consistently with the first round. When I got home, I stripped and cleaned the gun as usual and tested it with three different types of FMJ ammo. Not a single problem; each magazine chambered the first round without issue. I'm wondering if this might be operator error or something else. I’d appreciate your thoughts on this.
