Slide Dropping in Mag Load

I'll never know for sure but I doubt the guy I bought it from had this done. Also, it didn't happen with several other mags. It happened randomly and when it did, I would drop the mag, clear the chamber and reload the top round back into the mag. Then I'd reinsert the same mag and NOT experience the same event.

Moreover, I see no signs of excessive wear. By outward appearances the gun is cherry and the slide cuts appear to be identical to my 1991 Commander that has run perfectly.

I also just looked at my NIB Combat Elite and the cut angles are the same. None are 90 degrees, FWIW (Using 's pic as a reference.)
