That looks great! I wish S&W would make parts available too. Don't understand why they don't.

If I pull the slide back and release it the stop does catch the slide. I have cleaned and lubed it and put the recoil spring back in correctly. Could it be that the recoil spring just needs more breaking in? Here's a couple pics. Taken with my phone so the quality isn't the best. If you need...

I think I follow what you're saying. With an empty mag, the slide locks back when I pull it back. If the follower wasn't making contact, this wouldn't happen correct?

I did think that was a possibility but I checked it before and I'm not. Also, two other experienced shooters shot it this weekend with the same issue.

Just a quick update. Was out at the ranch all weekend and did quite a bit of shooting. I put about 200 rounds through my SD9VE. The slide didn't lock back after the last round one single time. I fed it lots of different ammo. Lawman, WWB, Fiocchi, Blazer Brass, and Remington UMC. 124gr and...

I hope this ends up being the problem. Was out at the ranch again today and shot, but very little. Still the same ammo because I didn't have time to get by the shop. Two mags, no ejection issues, but the slide didn't lock back either time. I've now put about 150 rounds through it and only...

EBK, I saw that you posted that somewhere else on the forum. At least I think it was you. I checked my grip before I posted thinking this was a possibility. Unfortunately that wasn't it. Hopefully I can find some decent ammo soon and see if I can figure out what's happening. Thanks again for all...

I'm a fairly experienced shooter and limp wristing isn't the issue. I figured it might be the ammo but unfortunately that's all they had at the store. I've put thousands of rounds of Monarch through my Glock and never had a problem. I'll try some different ammo when I can get ahold of some...

Just joined the forum and thought I'd say hi. I purchased a SD9VE the other day. Having a few issues that I posted about in the proper forum. Other than the issues I have, I'm really liking the way the gun shoots. Great forum y'all have here. Looking forward to contributing how I can.

Just joined the forum and have been reading for the last hour. Great group here! I purchased and SD9VE a little over a week ago. Cleaned and lubricated it and headed to the range. First magazine was flawless. The next 4 mags I went through the slide failed to lock back after the last round...
