@Chilly ... I've got another post on the forum about failure to feed. Buddy of mine has a first-gen shield. As his gun has a couple thousand rounds down the pipe, figure his spring is broken in, where mine is not. Swap 'em ... see if it makes a difference. But ... before I do a swap ...

Let someone else shoot the gun - check. I'm not new to shooting, rifles nor pistols, but this is my first sub-compact. I did have the thought that my grip might be a factor ... Again .. thanks for all the good suggestions - Jewish Deplorable

Thanks for the suggestions ... All, Thanks for the suggestions on my failure to feed issues. * Lock the slide, got it. * Stuff the mags, let 'em sit. Got it. * Shoot some 124 grain ammo - I have some Aguila 124 NATO spec. Cracker57 in Wisconsin - no need for me to "mark" the mags. Very...
