Im a fairly new Ruger Security 9 owner. Ive noticed that the slide sometimes doesn't lock back after the last round is fired.Maybe it's my imagination but it seems to happen when I load the magazine using the auto forwarding feature. Can that be?

You LCP MAX owners, do you ever see this?

This help?
From that other post the most helpful comment I saw was this,
"Have you tried pulling the slide back on an empty mag? If it locks back it's either a limp wrist or limp ammo."
"Have you tried pulling the slide back on an empty mag? If it locks back it's either a limp wrist or limp ammo."
Why would you think that last round hold open is affected by how first round is chambered? Maybe I misread your question???
Is it a new gun? If not, the most likely culprit is a weak mag spring.
What happens if you rack the slide by hand with an empty mag? If it lock back fine then and it is a newer gun, the recoil spring just might need some breaking in. That shouldn't be the case, but it could be a combination of things.
