I purchased this gun thursday and took it to the range today. I was shooting WWB got about 20 rounds through it no problems. With the magazine loaded with more than 2 rounds when it gets to the last round it will not feed, and the magazine is ejected about 3/4". Any ideas what would cause this or what I should do about it?

either that or the mag is bad. I also thought the mag catch but if it were bad you would see the problem with fuller mags. Does that pistol have one of those new ambi mag releases?

On the one I had it would eject the mag on the 4th round every time.
I measured it and found that it coincides with the follower mold mark(lip) coming into contact with the mag release.
Took a razor knife and scraped away the lip and no more problem.

Another thing about these and other autos you have to run a couple hundred rounds thru them.
Most people have reported no problems after the break in period.
Glad they figured out the mag problem.
