The problem with the magazine failing to hold open may be poor follower design or manufacture. The follower presses upwards on the slide lever when the magazine is empty. The problem with a magazine holding open every round can be that the rising bullets push the slide lever upwards. There is very little clearance between the nose of the bullet and the lever, so any misalignment can cause the lever to rise on each shot.
