Hi guys, new to the page. Recently purchased my first ever Ruger secondhand. The original owners claimed to have only put 5 rounds through it without issue and didn't shoot again. I did a quick takedown of it, picked a few boogies out of the nooks and slapped it back together. Upon attempting to shoot today, I experienced 45 out of 50 rounds FTF. The first round of the magazine would chamber correctly, and every subsequent round would FTF, with 90% sliding up and left, and jam. Most of my experience with handguns is with revolvers, and I would like a few experienced opinions on this situation.
I am attaching some photographs I took of the ramp, that seems to show some asymmetrical features on the left of the curved radius on the ramp, as well as on the rim of the barrel (notice the wear at "7 oclock"). I sent the pictures to a buddy of mine and he suggested the ramp should not be silver, but rather painted or colored as the rest of the gun.
Buddy offered to dremel it down and put some rounds through it to see if he can get it acting right. I have already emailed Ruger and I'm waiting for a response to see if they can confirm if this is factory or user error. Any feedback or advice is greatly appreciated.

Edit: Ruled out "limp wrist" best as I could. I'm 6'2 with bear paw hands, as well as a more experienced shooter had the exact same issue.
