Airsoft Canada - View Single Post - KSC USP slide won't lock when mag is empty (solved)

So, I'm not a GBB guru by any means, so maybe it's an issue as simple as the mags needing some lube or something, but basically, the slide on my USP (.45 fill-size, if it matters) suddenly won't lock back when the last BB is fired. It's always been fine except for one instance in the past where the silicone reservoir on my Propane tank dried up without me knowing, and the gun just kinda seized up. A little bit of lube in 'er and the mag fixed it right up, but now it's doing it again, and I don't know why. From what I can tell, it could be the magazines, but the slide doesn't lock regardless of which mag I use (three of them), so I'm more inclined to think that it's some issue with the gun itself.

I know that this isn't a huge issue, but I like when my things work properly, and it's hard to know when you're out of ammo when this happens, so if anyone could offer some insight or experience on the matter, I'd really appreciate it, as I already mentioned that I'm really not an expert on GBBs.
