I just got my first HK USP45f used.

The slide stop does not engage.  Is this because of weak magazine spring?
It does engage if I push and hold the magazine.  Is there some way I can make the magazine lockup tighter?

Thanks!

Slides failing to lock back is almost always weak mag springs, USP45F mags are somewhat known for this. I'd recommend a new Wolff +10% spring for each of your mags, it's cheap peace of mind.

Looked up the part numbers for you, since I'm cool like that

I've never had a failure to feed because of a weak HK mag spring, but IMHO a "weak mag spring" = "bad mag spring"
