Are you accidently hitting the slide lock? That's the most common culprit when that happens.

Also, it sounds like you have a used gun; I'd try breaking it down, give it a good cleaning and a proper lube before trying it again.

after trying what cuda66 mentioned

did anyone else try it?
did it happen with one or more magazines?

does the slide move smoothly cycled by hand?

Cleaning & new Wolff springs. Then off to the factory...they will probably do the exact same things.

Hey willis, I've owned that same weapon since 1999. I used "Y2K" as my excuse with my wife to by a new gun, but anyway, I've had similar problems and have found that as long as I use brass cartidges and no others, it works well.
Hope this helps for yours.
