I got my full order yesterday and this was the pistol I bought. I like it so far but a problem just popped up. The slide catch no longer engages after the mag is empty or at all when I rack it back. I have to manually raise it to lock it. I'm not sure what caused this but maybe the metal already wore down? I don't think there was a spring or anything there the keep it up.

It has to do with the spring in the BB well in the magazine; I have a Socom Gear 1911(same single stack magazine style) which has the same issue.
Works about 10% of the time but on mine it seems that when empty the spring doesn't have enough tension to push the slide lock up.

Hey, don't know if you're still having this issue or not, but I recently disassembled the magazine I was having this same issue with and stretched the spring out. After reassembling the problem is gone.
I can show you next time I'm out at a game if you can't find the info.
