New owner of a PPC 9 and experiencing a problem I've not had before. I have 6 mags, but only 2 of them lock the slide open after they're empty. The other 4 allow the slide to close when emply. I've looked at them, but can't spot any differences? Any ideas?? thks Peter

could the followers have plastic slag on them which does not allow them to go up further on the mag body?

just a guess.

have you tried to hand cycle and it does the same thing?

Finally figured it out.. the slide stop assembly which is pushed up by the front corner of the follower is too short and misses some of the mags.. It's all a matter of 1/32" kinda thing.. will have to get new one..

No need to buy a new one, just bend the slide stop.
Looking from above it should be somthing like 89 deg, now it's 91 deg.

Be careful not bend it to much, it will jam and not work properly.

Most likely it's been chewíng on Your followers.
