I would try a new mag of the same specs. That should tell you if it’s a worn mag. It sounds like the spring is just a little weak and could use replacement though.

Quoted:
So my pistol mag wont always hold open my slide. I'm not sure of the reason, but is it possible the spring is wore from carrying with a full mag? It only had about 150rds through it before it started acting up. No failure to feed or eject. and the magazine is an ACT-MAG and about a year old with about 500 rounds... Pistol is a RIA Match Ultra 45acp Correctly designed and manufactured springs do not wear form simple compression. They wear from use. |

I guess the ammo i was using was dirty as fuck. I cleaned the slide stop and it runs fine now.
Just updating in case anyone runs into something like that, or more likely and importantly if your worried about my pistol and daily life. |

as a test its good to take the unloaded mag, put it in the gun, and run the slide manaully. does it lock open? ans how high up in the notch does the slide stop get? If it's not 100% up take note. you can prematurely ruin a slide by peening the slide stop notch from a slide stop that doesn't engage fully.
ive had a few act-mags and always had good spring life, but the feed lips always cracked on mine. They are range use only mags for me. |
