I've just picked up a new Browning Buckmark (http://www.davidsonsinc.com/consumers/subsites/inven_product.asp?dealer_id=821957&item=051415490&instock=all&manufact_combo=Browning&mod_ser_combo=None&category_combo=1&model=None&g_type=None&act_type=&finish_type=None&calib_combo=22LR&sight_class_combo=None&price_range=None&left_handed=&youth=&Offset_rec=0&num_rec=50&item_num=) and I've got an "interesting problem with it. At least half the time I shoot it, the gun will do the following after the last bullet is shot:
the slide will not lock back after the last bullet - it will slide forward
the slide will be noticeably more difficult to pull back, regardless of whether the magazine is left in or removed
the slide is difficult to pull back only the first time; once pulled back, the slide will operate normally from there onward (again, regardless if the magazine is in or out)
The last cartridge is always ejected; there's never a cartridge or unfired shell still in the gun
It does this with two different magazines and 6 different ammunition brands, including Federal Gold Match, CCI Stingers, and CCI Velocitors.
I'm going to take this back to the gun store Friday to have them take a look at it; however, I wondered if anyone else had seen this kind of behavior?
