just for giggles swap the mag catch from the 45 to the 9mm and try it
I was thinking about this and wondering why this failure to go into battery wouldn’t be repeatable at the bench if it is the mag catch, but it’s easy to swap so I just did and we’ll see what happens next weekend at the Buccaneer match.Sorry. Read "slide lock" when you posted.
I end up changing so many things on my pistols I forget.
I had fit an EGW mag catch to this pistol a month or so back. I could put the stock mag catch back and see what happens. Probably worth a try.
To tell you the truth, the only one I have marked is one that doesn’t reliably lock back on empty, so it is relegated to use as a barney mag, which I have to have anyway. This would be a good reason for them to all be marked.I assume that you have the mags marked and it is not just happening with certain mags and not with others
Dawson Competition, which are made by Metalform with Dawson metal basepadsI use a paint pen and number all my mags. what brand of mags are you using
That’s what Dawson ships with their name on it except it has their CTR metal basepad. I prefer them over Tripps and Wilson.I my opinion these are the Best 1911 9mm mags they have a built in ramp in the mag https://www.brownells.com/magazines...gfield-style-9rd-9mm-magazines-prod20448.aspx
Shots firedThe problem only happens when you run the gun to slide lock? I know how to fix that. Stop shooting a stupid sport that makes you run the gun to slide lock!
sorry, it’s been a while since we’ve had a good idpa vs uspsa debate and I think we’re due!
I handled and shot a CZ 75 SA only recently. The ergos just don’t work for me.What Fatboy said.
But, Ima post this anyway, as I do in all your 9mm 1911 not working threads.

Is it possible that you are limp wristing it?
I have a new 1911 in 9mm that is giving me a fit with one type, but its not fmj!
I agree with the limp wristing possibility. When you try it at home you've got a firm grip on it. At the match you don't.
It doesn’t do it during practice sessions. Or at least not up until I shot the match yesterday. I’ll have it out at the range this week with the stock mag catch back in it.Try it during live fire and see if you can duplicate the error.
Factory 115 grain FMJ. Same stuff I have run thousands of rounds of.Are the loads weak?

Glock ergos suck, LOL.So, Glock ergos and 1911 ergos work but not a CZ75?
Thats very odd and hard to imagine.
I’ll stop posting CZs in your threads though!
I’m thinking M&P 2.0 with an RMR.I’m thinking HK P30L with a light LEM trigger. If my memory is correct you have tried every other full sized 9mm. Or maybe a Nighthawk Hi-Power? You may not have tried that one. If nothing else it’s a cool gun.
I’ve had new 1911’s that the slide would hang on the disconnector before they were broken in, but that is not the case here. Not sure what else would be seen at this point.Time to detail strip the pistol and inspect the parts. Something is eating up the recoil spring's energy as the slide cycles forward and that can be a multitude of factors, jmho.
It gets worse. I dropped a full beer on my desk just now.You angered the spirit of JMB by defiling his most holy handgun with an inferior chambering

Judging from you other post, I need to remind you that you have not learned our southern ways, and if you ever meet me, you best get back in your car and drive home.Ok, the HK or Hi-Point can be next month.

A tight clearanced hammer to beavertail can be a problem, burrs in the mainspring housing, loose ejector, the extractor/firing pin retainer/firing pin relationship and anything that moves, wears, supports, or feeds can be suspect. Try making a magazine's worth of dummy rounds, remove the pistol's recoil spring and test feedup from the magazines, with enough cycles something afoul will usually come to light. If not, it's shop time, good luck.I’ve had new 1911’s that the slide would hang on the disconnector before they were broken in, but that is not the case here.

Deal breaker. Time to sell it
Not a lot of info to go on here. It could be anything: bad ammo, trigger nut, gun parts, springs, smutz, etc. But the laboratory conditions you are using to test don't have a timer and they're not the same cartridges.Probably 80% of my slidelock reloads at DeepRiver IDPA today required a bump with the heel of my support hand to shove the slide into battery,
Or chickens, I’m thinking chickens.
