The SD40VE is easy to initiate Failure to Feeds.
Usually, it is not necessary to drop the mag and pull the slide. As simple light tap on the back of the slide will generally cause the slide to return to battery and chamber the round. When that happens, it is most likely because you are "limp-wristing" the gun. i.e. not keeping your wrist tight and locked when firing.
If you are experiencing an issue where a tap on the back of the slide does not cause the round to chamber, and it is required to drop the mag and pull the slide back to eject the round, then it is most likely the ammo. My SD40VE was very finicky with different types of ammo. Perfecta and Winchester would just not chamber properly at all, but I had much better luck with Federal and PPU.
