when firing the slide locks back and does not go forward. This is not caused by activating the slide stop accidentally as the back of the gun can be slapped and it goes back into battery. The gun is hanging up with rounds in the mag and its not caused by the slide stop. It is simply getting stuck.
Major fail for smith and wesson as this is a performance center shield in 9mm. This was the first time shooting this shield as it was new. I had a problem with almost every magazine I ran through the gun. I have never had a problem of any kind with my other shield so I guess this POS is going back to the factory.
Edit for clarity of what is happening:
1) I load 5 rounds in the mag
2) I fire one or two rounds and the slide simply "sticks" open.
3) the slide stop is not causing this because you can firmly tap the back of the gun and it goes back into battery
I experienced this failure at least once with all but maybe 2-3 mags out of 100 rounds.
