Walther PP 1950's production mags drop out when I shoot.

Just took a newly purchased Walther PP out for a first target shooting session. Each time I put a mag in and fire the mag falls out into my palm. I have different old mags (Manurhin, Walther PP and PPK/S). I minimized the issue by using my pinkie finger to secure the mag in the pistol from the bottom but as you can all understand this isn't going to fly as the solution. I figured I'd ask all of the experts here in the forum for a consensus on what the likely issue is. Do you think it's the mag catch button or could it be that the mags are worn out. With all of the mags doing this I am leaning towards the mag catch button. Or is it likely something else. The PP is .32 ACP.

Thanks for any help!
