What's up dudes? Recently, I purchased a Witness 9mm steel full size in wonderfinish (as joe g knows). The gun shot beautifully with fmj's and SOME hollowpoints. However, I bought some factory reloaded hollowpoints and had some leftover golden sabers that I took out shooting the second time. When racking the slide on a fresh magazine, the first round (about 66% of the time) will do a nose dive and get stuck just below the feed ramp. The only thing I could do to mitigate the problem was to apply upward pressure on the bottom of the magazine while racking the slide (when snapped into the frame, the magazine has a little vertical and horizontal play, unlike a good 1911 or a Beretta for example- and this magazine was supposedly the factory 16 round mag that came with the new gun [the mag does not have any writing or markings establishing it as a EAA factory magazine]).
What I'm getting at is do y'all think there is something I can do to remedy the situation? Do I have a bunk mag? Oddly enough, it fed all rounds flawlessly when SHOOTING, it just jams most of the time when racking the slide on a fresh round or sometimes releasing the slide stop on a fresh mag. As it stands right now, I don't know if I can trust the gun for personal protection in a real defensive encounter. What do you all think? Much obliged.
P.S. Helping doesn't consist of you telling me I should have gotten a CZ75 instead...
