If it is when cycling the ammo by hand it is a problem of technique not a problem with the gun.

If it is a failure to feed when shooting the problem needs further investigation do determine the reason as there are many possible reasons.
Ok experimented last night.... the gun is fine. As long as I pulled the slide back hard enough, it feed the ammo fine. Thanks guys
