I'm seeing some odd behavior from three ETS Glock .40 16-round magazines I bought. They work fine in my Glock 23 (they stick out the bottom, but that's expected), but they don't work in my Glock 35, which works fine with factory magazines. The failure mode is that the slide locks open with rounds still in the magazine, almost always when the magazine is more nearly full than empty.
A Tap-Rack-Bang clears the issue (and I've been getting practice in that drill because of this, which I guess is a sort of benefit), but it seems odd that it happens this way. I don't think I'm hitting the extended slide stop on the 35, because the factory magazines work. I don't think the magazines are totally messed up, because they work in the 23.
Does anyone know what would cause this to happen, and how it might be remedied short of sending them back? I'd like to tinker a bit and see if I can get them to work as is.
