I just got my New LC-9 and was going over it unlike my SRC 40,I'm finding the when I pull the slide back it only occasionally locks automatically with a empty mag in, should it not like the SR40C lock back on its own? or do you have to always engage the slide lock manually? also Mag only locks with 6 instead of 7 rounds.

My LC9 and LC380 always lock the slide after the last round regardless of how many rounds are in it. I bought one of the new 9 round mags for the LC9 and it would not lock slide after last round, so i removed the spring and stretched it out about 3/4 inch longer and it seems to work OK now, but i don't think it is a permanent fix. I have five 7 round mags work perfect.
