Other than accidentally hitting the slide catch up with my thumb while firing, What would cause the slide to lock back with rounds still in the mag?

Location, location, location...of your thumb. Or, the slide lock was installed incorrectly.
One way to test is to pull the slide off the frame and see if the slide lock pops up on it's own. It should fall under gravity.
Happy shooting and be safe.Les Baer 1911: Premier II w/1.5" Guarantee, Blued, No FCS, Combat Rear, F/O Front, Checkered MSH & SA Professional Double Diamond Grips

I've had it happen to me with hot reloads and some factory ammo. Just watch which ammo you shoot if you're positive you aren't riding the slide catchComment
