Yep, that's the problem.
But the stock TM pistol is not meant to be used with propane, so it's our fault I guess. It's still a disappointment since TM has such a good reputation with their recent GBBs.
Do P226 metal slides come with that part or we are supposed to transfer it from the plastic slide?
Would adding a spacer under the magazine spring fix the problem? Could it push the slide catch upward faster and harder before it as a chance to slip?

Metal slides don't come with that part at all, unfortunately. You have to transplant that part into a metal slide.
I agree that TM guns are supposed to run 134a gas, but there are many users of older TM P226s that have been running on propane for hundreds of rounds without this issue. It seems this is an issue with new models - the ones everyone claim work fine on green gas / propane. I only fired 3 mags on propane (I ran out) it was on the 2nd mag of propane that it failed the first time. Seriously, I can't see how quality metal would wear out that quickly, even running propane.
