So I'm in the initial stages of trying to diagnose the issue, I suspect it under powered ammo. Its a new G19 Gen 5. It has maybe 250-350rnds through it. The last 2 times I was out I had multiple issue with the slide failing to lock back on empty. I tried 2 different mags same issue, both were brand new mags and the springs feel plenty stiff. The gun would lock open without issue if i racked the slide on an empty mag. I prefer to shoot 115g federal. I don't remember having any issued with federal 115 or 147g the first time or 2 I took it out. The last 2 times I shot freedom munition reman 115g, failure to lock open was the rule, not the exception. I made sure i had a good grip and did not limp wrist. I also made sure i had a good grip and had fingers away from the slide stop lever.
I know I read about the 4th gen being designed for hot 124g and having issues with standard 115g due to the recoil spring but I understood this was adressed. is this an issue with the gen 5 guns?
were there any differences going to gen 5 mags other than the orange follower and lipped base plate? any reports of issues with the new mags?
Next range outing I plan to shoot several different brands and chrono them all to see if i can pin it on a ammo issue, or if it is a gun issue. I also plan to test 6 different mags.
