Model 41 slide lock malfunction
I have sent this S&W 41 into the performance center twice now and 353 dollars later it still will not lock the slide back after the last round has been fired. The slide has been replaced and I have tried 3 new S&W magazines. Does any one have a suggestion on what I might try next?

If it locks back when you retract it by hand (after inserting an empty magazine), I would guess your recoil spring is a bit too heavy. Does it do this with both standard, and high speed ammo?

It will lock back when I retract it by hand. I have tried different ammo. I need to say I just read a comment from rimfirecentral.com that describes what might be my problem. It went something like this. Could it be your grip? If it is a high thumb safety grip it may be resting on the slide catch." I think that's me, I shoot a 1911 a lot.......

Welcome from Wisconsin!
I hope you didn't mean that S&W charged you for $353 worth of warranty work. Glad you found the problem.

Another welcome from Virginia!
If you think it's your hold on the pistol that is the problem, let someone else shoot it and see if it works for them. If it does work, you know it's you.
