the problem is the slide will not pick up the next round from the mag on returning forward, i have to pull the slide back to get to pick up the next round, and it's like dry firing, how long until my firing pin breaks doing this? going to call smith & wesson and see what they say. i was always taught that dry-firing any 22 is a NO-NO.....called up s&w and they want me to send it back and if it is a mag problem it will take some time before i get back because of a back log on new mags.
