It is NOT feature of the Hicapa, even the TM one.

TM's do it most of the time because the feed spring is quite soft to prevent damage to the BB while being just stiff enought to feed and lock the slide.

This cause the slide lock not to move all the way up into the groove of the slide, and then when the impact of the new mag in the gun is transfered to the slide, the catch disengages and the slide moves forwards.

You can "fix" this by carefully filling the catch into a more sharp angle (more square. If you look at the top right corner, it is angled slightly). It can cause more slide wear however.

My KP-05 does the same, but only when I ram the mag in.
My late TM Hicapa 5.1 did the same. Only when I ram the mag.
