- Often it is simply a mag that rides too low, if you push up on it and it works- that is the issue.
This may be due to the mag or the mag catch.
- hold open springs, especially replacements, can be too strong
- the button on the mag is too small in diameter on some replacement mags, and original buttons
can be worn, I've seen them flattened from wear on one area, you can rotate the button to a new position

Hope this helps.
Lots of good info and it does seem to be the mag, I got one from MecGar as suggested and info is that the 9mm & 7.65 (.30 Luger) ammo is interchangeable in the mag? Hard to believe but ordered and on the way. I have a 7.65/.30 Luger.

I will see if the mag solves problem. I also see a tiny bit of wear and flattening on the slide button. How do I rotate the button? Just with pliers? It seems to be connected to the follower and don't want to break or shear it off while twisting? Just twist slightly?

THanks in advance
