[QUOTE="kimgcampbell, post: 2090832, member: 25289"] It may be a weak recoil spring, but I have heard of this kind of issue with many autoloaders, including Glocks. When folks presscheck their guns, or press them against a suspect's body (like in an arrest), some slides will move back enough to go out of battery and then won't fire. From my standpoint, I have never had this happen to my 9mm Shield. Another thing to check is the magazine spring. If you have a dickens of a time getting in the last one or two rounds in the 7 round short magazine, your magazine spring may be overcompressed and then binding the action. It seems that S&W uses the same mag spring in both the 7 and the 8 round 9mm mags, even though the 7 round is shorter. I had this issue with both my 7 round mags (the one included with the gun and with another from Cabela's). Clipping off one coil did the trick. In your cases I can theorize that an overly compressed mag spring can potentially bind the slide. Does this happen with your 8 round mags? Are your 7 round mags near impossible to load? I Just a thought... [/QUOTE]
