First step is to break it down and clean in detail - attention to the slide parts (extractor area, firing pin area for built up crud often hidden), pull grips and clean frame completely, and take down and clean mags. Check extractor for movement, tension, and any chips/damage. Check firing pin for movement and any tip damage. Check bbl. for any pinging at feed and chamber and bbl CLEAN. Check ejector for movement and damage. Consider replacing slide spring if heavy usage. Lightly lube parts.
Assume you are using same ammo that worked in the past. Some recommend a drop of oil on first round before inserting mag.
