Just a thought, and an observation, but it looks like the slide lock has a finger extending to below the magazine mouth level in the handle, indicating to me that the slide returning to battery upon magazine re-insertion a design element and intentional. I haven't broken down my M9 to check and make sure, and if there's another use for this particular part of the slide lock I'd love to be edumacated...
You're right, though, Noblesavage, it's pretty disconcerting the first few times it happens, especially if you're not expecting it.
