r-51 question

[iquit]

is the slide supposed to stay back when there is no magazine in the pistol??  I know I have posted several times this evening and don't be to be a pain in the butt.. but like my previous post says the slide stays back after each shot. my pistols slide will stay back with out a magazine in place maybe that is my problem with this hand gun. maybe someone could check and see if their pistol does the same thing. I never had a handgun that the slide stayed back when no mag. was loaded into the pistol. thanks for putting up with my posts. argie1891

The slide will lock back without an empty magazine and on every shot if the slide stop is incorrectly installed.   Watch the Remington field strip video and note that the slide stop MUST be installed so that the "tab" on the slide stop slips BELOW the spring as it clicks into place upon insertion when reassembling the gun.   Watch the video and check your gun.
