What I have:
-Glock 22C
-Glock Competition trigger connector (I believe)
-Glock Store heavy tungsten Guide Rod
-Glock Store extended slide stop lever

The slide is not holding back when I finish going through a magazine. Is this caused from the magazine being worn out or somthing else? Any help would be appreciated.

As long as the slide catch/ spring is installed properly and your support hand is not interfering with the slide catch I'd suspect defective mag springs and or worn followers.  I have had issues with my Glock 27 mag springs going bad and will not lock back on the last round.  I've also seen this with a Gen I Glock 17.   Changing the mag springs solves the problem.

Just for future reference for anyone out there, I fixed the problem with replacing the magazine springs with Wolff +10 mag springs. Worked like a charm!

How old/worn/used were your mags?

My question as well.  I've never worn out a Glock magazine spring.  I have, however, worn out a Glock slide stop lever by using it to drop the slide.

it was a gen 3 and bought it used about 3 years ago so I don't know exactly how old. In one specific mag I left it fully stacked and I'm sure that it had something to do with it. Reading the reviews on these new springs it says I won't have a problem in the future.
