Used 5906?

Buy a new factory magazine and try it with good quality, fresh factory ammunition.

This is presuming you're using good technique and properly handling & manipulating the gun while shooting it, of course. I've seen some 3rd gen shooters exert improper pressure against the slide, slide stop, mag catch button, etc and cause themselves problems which they mistakenly thought were "gun problems", but were actually "shooter problems".

Thumbing a slide or slide stop lever during live-fire cycling could cause (has caused) problems for some folks and not be recognized by them at the time.

FWIW, your chosen forum name seems to imply you're new to semiauto pistols (and handguns in general?), so maybe some friendly help from an instructor, RSO or very experienced shooter at a local shooting club might be profitable, just in general. Maybe even a basic handgun/shooting class offered by a local range?

Can't know what's happening without being there to see you shoot or look at the gun/mags, so these are just some thoughts.
