New CM45 owner, Tried to find a sticky explaining this but is it normal that the slide won't stay open unless a mag is inserted into the well? Seems like a defect and a unsafe operation if I want to check to see if the gun is cleared of all rounds

Thanks, Chet

Are you pushing up the slide lock lever with the slide back? It won't stay back without a mag if you don't.

Thank you! I was trying to push the slide lock lever before pulling the slide back. It's also brand new so the slide is rather stiff.
