Hi, 

I have now restarted shooting my sp20's: one is .22LR and other is 32 smith&Wesson. 
Neither locks back when magazine is empty

Is this normal? If not, suggestions for repair?

Thanks
DocDerm

Thanks for quick answer. 

Is there a particular reason the manufacturer chose to NOT lockback?

Yes, so that every shot feels the same. This ia s same for.most Euro.sports (ISSF style) pistols.

I was told ISSF shooters didn't want lock-back because it might lock back before last round was fired. That would be a disaster for ISSF Shooter.
