Slide release popping out when firing and locking slide back

[2k2wranglerx]

Hi everyone. I'm new. I have a baby eagle compact polymer in .40. Took it out for the first time this weekend and have an issue. When I shoot cheap fmj it's fine. But when I run decent jhp stuff through it the slide release actually pops out a little bit. This locks the slide back until I push it back in all the way.

Any ideas? Anyone ever heard of this issue?

Thanks!

Have not seen that one happen. I suggest a call to Magnum Research customer service is in order.

I had this w/ my CW9 when dry firing/racking slide. My fingers put a little pressure on the slide release pin and pushed it out about 1/8" locking the slide at 1/4" back from closed.

I suspect that the different bullet profile of the hollow points is causing them to contact your slide stop. You can verify this by removing the slide, installing the slide stop, then inserting a fully loaded magazine while watching to see if the top round contacts the slide stop. If it does, you'll need to use other ammo, sightly modify the stop, or replace the stop.
