That actually happened to me with my SD40VE. It was just fine early on, but then the slide stopped locking open on empty. I realized that my grip had changed and I was subconsciously placing my thumb on the slide lock when shooting, which was preventing the slide lock from holding the slide open. I had to go back again and consciously focus on my thumb position to keep it off the slide lock, and then I had no problems.
