Hi guys, I went to the range yesterday with my Cz Kadet. I was having a real issue with the slide constantly locking back before the mag was empty. I've never had this issue before with thousands of rounds down range. Could the cold be as issue? I was trying some new Winchester ammo out as well.
Thanks guys
 
No misfeed. I hit the release and can continue shooting. I did some more research and am wondering if my gloves were hitting the slide release up while shooting. Is that a possibility?
 
I had the same problem with a used Beretta 71 I picked up recently. Turned out the slide lock was traveling up under recoil of the slide because the slide stop spring was a little worn. I took out the spring and bent it outwards to increase the tension and reinserted the spring. Its been good to go ever since.

Im not familiar with the CZ Kadet at all but if it has a spring in it that holds the slide stop down until the magazine follower pushes the slide stop up, I would check to see if the spring still has enough tension on it to work properly.

Try racking the slide quickly and observe the slide stop to see if it moves on its own and go from there.

With thousands of rounds down the pipe I would think this issue is mechanical and not glove related.
