I was shooting Federal AutoMatch ammo, and I had one failure to eject, a few stovepipes, and a lot of failure to feeds. I have 3 mags and had the same problems regardless of which one I used. I did notice that almost all the failures were in the first few rounds, leading me to believe the slide had too much friction.I watched a few videos and read a few reviews and found a few things to try. I took some 320 grit sandpaper to the rails on the frame and the grooves in the slide and polished them up nicely, thoroughly cleaned everything, put some grease on the rails and oiled everything and cycled it by hand 150 times. While it was apart I also removed that annoying mag safety. I went out in the backyard and shot 20rds thru it, 100% success....so now I need some range time with it!</blockquote>
