Have a 19x with a few hundred rounds through it and really confirmed today it was having this issue. Tried multiple magazines (mix of factory and PMag) and all but like 1 had the problem.
I'm mostly confident it isn't a grip issue... but probably need a second set of eyes on that one.
Could be ammo I suppose? But I'm only having problems on the last round. Feeds and cycles fine otherwise.
What else should I try / be looking at?
Thanks
If it's happening on the last round, it is likely going to be mag springs. I have seen out of spec springs on new mags before. If it was occurring randomly throughout your shooting session, It could be other things, but I'm betting it's mag springs.
Keep track of the mags also, and FYI magpul magazines have had problems in the past. I use them from range and haven't had any issues with them, but I know folks who have.
Yes it could still be your grip as well. A little test would be to pull the slide release out completely or throw a 3rd gen release in and run some mags through like that. Yes it won't lock back on the last round, if you take it out, but your grip won't affect it either. That's a sure way to rule out grip.
