I have had this problem too, just like Doubs said, my grips simply rubbed in the wrong place. This happens with cheap-o grips, and of course I have a couple of those pair and it makes a heck of a difference.

BUT, as Herb said, I also have my gun catching, but I KNOW it's a broken hold open spring and this can be a problem.

(So, I need a hold-open / spring for a 1942 Banner {{hint, hint}}).
