Taploader
Slap the magazine into your glock, and it releases the slide. My Glock 30 did that all on it’s own. Never quite figured out why. Otherwise, it ran just fine.

I know if I drag just a little on the mag release and REALLY slam home the fresh mag, my SR40 will do it, too. Having a modification to drop the slide seems like an unnecessary addition to an otherwise simple system.

My m&p9 will do it if I slam the mag home just right.

I, for one, will wait until the TapLoader Mark II is introduced, in the hope & belief that it will include not only the current model’s automatic slide closure function, but also will fire the first round immediately upon slamming in the magazine.

My USP40 does the same thing.

Sounds like Glock ‘bounce’.
The polymer frame being so light if you slam in a loaded magazine the inertia will have the side stop drop down a bit and the slide them moves forward.
It works very well with Glocks but not at all with heavier steel frame guns.

Deaf Smith, That explains why it’s happened a few times on my S&W1911Sc. The times it’s happened it was a good hard slam, which made me suspect an inertial bounce.

I think you could get just about any auto pistol slide to let go if you slam a mag in hard enough. It seems I’ve had it happen with most any pistol I’ve tried. All that needs to happen is for the slide to budge (the frame to come forward under the slide, to be accurate) just a teeny weeny bit, and that lets go of the slide lock, which is under spring tension that pushes it down to unlock. Some are more sensitive than others, but you do have control of that sensitivity by way of adjusting the angle of that poart of the slide that engages the slide lock, if’n it bothers you too much. I’ve never been bothered by it, being that if I insert a loaded mag on a locked-back slide it is because I intend to drop the slide forward to load a round anyway. It saves one motion.

Works like that on my S&W M&P .45 compact. I don’t mind, since I keep the barrel pointed downrange as I put the mag in.

My all-steel Baby Eagle and my father’s HK45 both do it if you slap the magazines in with any more force than “oh, here you go little magazine, here’s your home”. I only know this because he freaked out about it, and I had to check my guns.

My SigPro SP2340 does that too.
I asked a guy at my favorite gun shop if it was a problem and he said it wasn’t.
He liked his to do that, it makes reloading faster in shooting competitions.

Happens with my M&P but not my FN
