Kwa usp. slide catch not working

kwa usp, just purchased this gun off a member. The slide catch decided to stop working. It doesnt bounce up into the lock position.

I had a somewhat similar problem with my WE Glock 17. On the Glock, the magazine spring is what pushes up the slide catch when the mag is empty.

On one of my mags, that spring has been getting weaker, and at times, the spring wasn't powerful enough to push the slide catch up enough for it to lock the slide, so it would dry fire.

Not sure if it's the same mechanism on a USP, however, I thought that this might help...

I had a mk23 from kwa, and it is important to have that spring in the slide release, field strip it and check to see if you still have that spring, I could be talking out of my bung hole
do you have some spare magazines or access to some?
