Jams occurred with 6- and 7-round mags.
OAL of the rounds 1.26.

Any suggestions other to try another brand of ammo? Anyone have issues with S&B?

Respectfully, Bill
I think you answered your own question........Use only Remington or Winchester ammo...... I have the same problem with my Sig P238 any ammo other than the above two mentioned well lock it up tighter than a , well you know what....
