Just bought a SR9 yesterday after some considerbale research and test shooting; very happy with the purchase. Quick question: At the gun store range, when firing their used SR9 empty and with the slide open, I could push in a new magazine and then press the slide release with my thumb to engage the slide forward and chamber a round (this also is how they explained to do it).
After picking up my new SR9, I read through the manual yesterday evening and it only refers to that piece as a "slide lock" and not a "release." With the slide open and a magazine inserted, I could not apply enough force to engage the slide forward.
Was the test pistol just broken in, or is that only designed as a slide lock and not a release?
Thanks.
