I have a Buckmark Camper and it's experiencing some intermittent troubles.  When you fire the last round from the magazine the slide locks back like it should, but the mag pops out without touching the release.  Is this normal?  I highly doubt it.  I'm thinking that I need to replace my magazine latch spring.  Thanks for your help.  MJD

ETA:  I've only had this pistol for a few weeks and bought it used.  Magazines are factory Browning by the way.

It's not normal for the mag to pop loose like that. There may be some crud interfering with the mag catch operation and a good cleaning might help. Otherwise, it is likely the catch spring as you noted.
FWIW
YMMV
