New P83 question

Post by m.miller0412 »

Hi all,
Just picked myself up a p83 from AIM and have a question. The slide wont lock back on the last round, but if I rack the slide back when its empty it will stay. Does this sound like a magazine problem or a slide stop problem? All help appreciated.

I checked both of mine. they both lock up the Slide. Try taking both Magazines apart, set the 2 Mag. Springs side by side, is one is shorter than the other, gently streach it to match the longer one. You can also try ordering a P.64 Mag. Spring from wolff Gunsprings perhaps they are the same. I have wrote to Wolff to find out if they will make Springs for the P.83. Paul
