Well yeah kinda. In action (when shooting), YES. When doing it manually you have to simulate the action, pulling back the slide slowly will not make a clean ejection, so the theory breaks down - if you are unsure at all (as you admitted you are) I would not concern yourself with how it operates when racking the slide by hand, with little experience its easy to mess this up.

If you have not done this before, please do this carefully! The spring may fly out, so make sure you are wearing your safety glasses! (it is not under a lot of pressure, but enough were it could hit you in your eye).

Re: CW40 Kahr Slide lock problem

Check the follower on the magazine. I had a similar problem with my Kahr PM40 when the follower cracked and would miss-feed the next round.
Kahr had a batch of bad followers when I bought mine (early 2007 I think) - they rectified the problem by changing the material used to make the follower.

Whilst I'm sure your follower is not made of the same faulty material mine was, it may simply be broken. Its a quick check too.

FYI, to truly see where mine was broken you had to disassemble the follower. It wasn't obvious a piece was broken until you examined the follower out of the magazine - in my case the follower would tilt because a piece was broken off that normally was inside the magazine and not visible.
