I am very embarrassed to say that I eventually learned the magazine was falling out because when I drew quickly from concealment and fired, my thumb covered the mag release button and pressure from my support hand had been pushing the release button! Reliability is good now, but sometimes the slide still fails to lock after the last round. This concerns me, as in a real gunfight, I may not do a tactical reload and may end up in a situation where I fire on an empty chamber. This has occurred sporadically on each of the three mags I use. Has anyone else experienced this and have you resolved it?
I don't have as many rounds through my P45, but with over 1000 rounds I have not had this type of issue. I have stove piped a time or two, but that was due to me allowing a limp wrist. Hope you figure it out!!
