Having Pistol Problems

Apr 3, 2005 9:01pm
Hey guys, I have a TM Hi-Capa 5.1 and I am having problems with it. It's not working like it used to. When I put in an empty mag and pull back on the slide, the slide locks due to an empty mag, once I hit the little side button to un-lock the slide, I can pull the trigger and then the slide doesn't lock anymore and it should because the mag is empty. It used to, now it doesn't. What's wrong with it? Any ideas? Help?

the notch for the slide catch wore down...take an exacto knife and carve out the notch...

Thanks for the help but if the slide catch wore down, how come it locks when I cock it back w/an empty mag? Should I just upgrade to a metal slide?? Thanks for the help and 411 though. Greatly appreciated.
