I would rather chance increased wear than live with an unreliable gun. I did buy a buffer.
The majority of my failures were the type where the slide went far enough back to eject the empty but not far enough to pick up the next round. So I ended up dry firing the gun at least once every couple of magazines. I also had the occasional stovepipe.
From what you are describing I do not think you are the problem.

That is true. The manual says to stay away from the high powered ammo. I tried it in the first 41 they gave me but it did not make any difference. I also tried it in the one I just send back when I first got it but no difference with issues. I did not try it after it was returned from repair. When I called them after the repair they said it was "designed for standard velocity ammunition". Thanks
