Then test the gun with a full-power quality ammo (WWB tends to be a little wimpy). Just put in a couple of rounds at a time for the test.
If it then works, after shooting it a few more times it will probably shoot the WWB OK.
A combination of not clean, brand new, and wimpy ammo can cause short-stroking the slide and failure to lock.

I second the clean the magazines idea. When I first started using my Sigma, I had a number of fail to feeds, times when the slide didn't lock back, even a couple when it locked back and shouldn't have. I had cleaned the gun before using it but not the mags. Then I read something on the forum about taking apart and cleaning the mags, problems solved. Now probably at least 2000 rounds and no worries.
