Ignition and extraction are the key factors here.
Exactly how well does the extraction- ejection work when it’s hot and dirty?
Shooting 45 ACP out of a gun that weighs about 20 ounces isn't a fun experience. I've never put enough rounds down range to get really get the gun either hot or dirty. I've never run into problems, but I've probably never put more than 25 rounds through it in one range visit.

Even when the gun is clean using the proper technique is needed to prevent tying the cylinder up if you allow the cartridge to slip under the ejector. If trying to empty the cylinder and you have the gun pointed down it's possible that the brass will fall back into the charge hole. Make sure to point the gun up so the rounds fall out and away from the cylinder.
