OK, for the second time this happened to me. The first time, I couldn’t 100% confirm that the magazines was assembled properly (but pretty sure). The second time, I’m positive.
Gun: CZ Shadow 2
Magazine: Factory 9mm / .40 combo mag loaded with 10 rounds of 9mm.
Scenario: Agressive / unexpected slide lock reload in USPSA match.
I can slam a magazine pretty good. (Old school single stack .38 super shooter). What I think is happening is, the momentum is bouncing the retaining plate enough to unlock, and then the base plate is sliding off. Since the magazine isn’t fully loaded, there is less spring tension on the retainer.
1. Anyone else experience this?
2. Ideas for resolution?
- stronger mag springs?
- different magazines?
- different base plate?
TIA.
