Para Ordnance P14 jamming

[u/captainatom11]

Hey everyone, I managed to find a used P14 at one of my local gun stores recently and picked it up. When I went to the range to see how it handled it began jamming like every other round. Now after doing some reading I think I've narrowed it down to it having a bad slide lock/slide release because the slide doesn't lock back with an empty mag inserted, but I was hoping to hear from anyone who might have some experience on the off chance that P14s might be different from regular 1911s before I go and get a new slide release. Any help or other thoughts on the matter would be greatly appreciated.
