Around the 50 round mark I started having a feed problem. The 2nd through 4th rounds in the magazine (both mags that came with the pistol) did not chamber. From there on (rounds 5-10) fed properly. Sometimes jammed rounds would chamber when the slide was racked, sometimes not.
Pulled the mags and found these rounds were hitting the front lip of the mag and snagging on the bullet case, and in some cases the nose of the bullet (230 FMJ) hit the inside of the mag. Close inspection showed the rounds were not rotating up to the approx 30 degree angle of the follower. Couldn't tell the actual cause (spring, follower or too tight lips on the top front of the mag).
As I loaded, made sure each round was fully seated to the back of the mag. Tried tapping the loaded mag to seat the bullets, but problem persisted.
Anyone else had this problem? Suggestions?
