I replaced the stock grips on my P239 with a brand new set of G10 (checkered) grips today. In doing so, I knocked off the decocker lever. Once I had that reassembled and I shot about 100 rounds through it. I like the grips, but about 50% of the time, the slide would not lock back when the magazine was empty. Never had that problem before.
Any thoughts as to why that may be happening?
***Edit: Some additional research suggests that, due to the new grips, I may have altered my grip and I am now riding the lever with my thumb. I suspect this is the case since when doing drills where I loaded only one cartridge at a time, the slide locked every time. It was only when emptying a full mag that I had the issue, which I thought was odd at the time. I will see if that is the problem next time I go to the range.***
