    Default CW9 Slide Releases by Itself!

    I've had my CW9 for about a dozen years or so, and have put a lot of rounds through it. Recently, when I slam in a fresh magazine, the slide sometimes releases by itself. Not all the time, but maybe once out of every 7-8 magazine changes. If I push the magazine in slowly then it does not do this.

    So, any ideas on what might be causing this? Do I need to replace a spring somewhere? It's not really a huge problem -- I mean, it's not like the gun fires itself -- but it is always a bit of a surprise, and of course it's not really supposed to do that.

    Probably can adjust the little spring on the slide lock lever. Being careful as the screw screws into plastic, so you don't want to overkill the tightness. Shouldn't take much adjustment, probably rotate clockwise (I think), and if mine I'd probably leave it as is. I don't slam mags very often and if needed to slam, the slide going into battery might be a good thing.

    My P9 does this every time I slam a mag in. My P365 did it too. I just consider it a feature.
