Slide wont go forward

Hello everyone, new member

I just purchased a P-64 from SOG. When i pull the slide back it won't go forward (with an additional tug) unless the magazine is released and removed. I have completely cleaned the gun of cosmoline and oiled it pretty good. Same results. Magazine looks good with nothing apparent. Cant figure out what is causing the slide to stay in the open position. Works just fine without the mag.

Ok, im stupid. When the magazine is empty the slide stays in the open position. Duh! Just like its supposed to do. I just loaded the mag and cycled through an entire load smooth as can be. Then as the last round was ejected, the slide stayed back and open.
