My G19 will not slide lock after the last round in all of my magazines. It will lock back if I manually engage the slide but not when firing. All my magazines are brand new G19 glock magazines. Anyone have any idea on what could be causing this?

Support hand/finger riding the slide release. Preventing it from holding slide open upon last round.

Change of grip while shooting?

That would be my suggestion as well.  Do you have the extended slide stop or the factory one?

If you insert an unloaded magazine in the gun and pull the slide back, will that lock the slide to the rear?  If so, you are riding the slide stop while shooting.

This.  

I occasionally run into the same problem with my 23.  My right thumb will inadvertently depress the slide release.  With my 22 it doesn't happen, but when I'm shooting hte 23 I have to remind myself to lay my right thumb over my left.

I do have an extended slide release on the weapon. I'll try changing my grip next time I shoot and see if that helps. Hopefully it's that simple problem.
