My first thought was the slide lock spring broke something I have experienced on multiple 19s; however it appears to be in good working shape and functioned for the rest of the day without issues. My next thought was the take down lever was depressed by a combination of me slamming the mag in and the 7360 "skids" pushing it in down and over enough that it did not go back into place after drawing the gun again. After an hour of trying I have not been able to replicate what happened. This being my duty gun I don't want to chalk it off as just one of those things, but I can not figure out why it happened in the first place.
I am going to replace the spring anyway, I just don't know for sure that was the problem.
