Ruger lc9s slide lock help

[Jem45472]

Took the new ruger lc9s to the range today. Went through 150 rds with no ftf or fte.
Only issue I had was twice the slide locked back on me midway through the magazine, two different mags. Both times round was ejected, slide locked back, several rds left in mag.

Now somebody there said it could be from limpwristing it. If that was the case wouldn't I have a failure to feed or eject?

Admittedly I was very tired awake for 24 hours and not paying much attention. Just trying to put some rounds through the gun.

Slide lock spring is working. With my grip, my thumb is usually resting on top of the safety, my thumb really doesn't even reach the slide lock unless I stretch for it.

I don't know, the grips are very thin. Maybe it's jumping on me causing my thumb to hit slide lock. Maybe buy some talon grips for it.

Thoughts?

I'm not sure if lord timelord was having same problem with his pf9 but I remember his hands slightly hitting mag release so the magazine would ever so slightly come out of alignment and I think cause the slide to lock open.

Slide lock spring broken or not fully engaged. There seems to be a few threads on this problem on other forums. Google it.

On a side note what do you think about that trigger? I replaced mine with GP Precision and like it much better than factory trigger.

Good luck.

Spring is in working order. I'm thinking I hit the lock while shooting. Will have to pay better attention next time.

I think the trigger is great. This is the lc9s, not the original double action lc9. Striker fired, nice clean break, right around 4.5 pounds I'm guessing. I don't care for da, or da/sa.

Sweet. Wasnt aware of that model.
