When I have an empty magazine in the gun and pull the slide back the slide locks back and will not move forward after pulling the slide back again and releasing.
If I remove the magazine and the pull the slide back and release it moves fully forward.
Is this normal operation for this gun?

Welcome to the S&W Forums!
Your pistol is behaving normally. As previously stated, the magazine follower activates the slide stop. It sounds like you may not be familiar with pistols. If that is the case, I highly recommend taking a firearms training course to improve your knowledge of firearms and how to use them.
