Came home with a Beretta 71 the other day. I was pretty filthy. I cleaned it up over two days, using ed's red. The springs looked pretty good to me, at least the trigger, mag release, and recoil springs. Decided to give it a try and found that when the slide is locked back and a magazine is incerted the slide releases automatically.
I have not heard that this was a feature of the gun
Anyone have any ideas on what might/might not be wrong and what I would do to fix it?
