I just bought this handgun last weekend for my Fiance to use at the range with me. She loves the skinny grip, and it fits her small hands well.
We went and purchased some Remington 9mm luger ammo and headed out for a range day today.
I am having an issue with the larger extended mag feeding correctly. We ran about 4 mags full through it, and each one had at least one, and most multiple feed errors. On all of them, the small pin that is supposed to catch the edge of the brass to feed it, missed and wedged in the groove. I hope that makes sense.
I also had one "stove pipe", and it was a deep one, the brass wasnt even close to making it out of the slide.
We then switched to the shorter 12 round mag, and finished the 100rds without one single issue.
However, i could only get 10rds to go in the mag, even with the supplied loader.
I assume the issue has to do with the mag, and not the gun. Is this a typical "new gun break-in" issue? or do i need to send the mag back to ruger? The guy at the range said to try it with half the rounds in the large mag, but it jammed a few times on the last 5 or so rounds.
I am no gun pro, but ive owned a few, and do a lot of reading. I have a M&P 9mm that is also brand new, and i shot the same ammo through it with no issues.
Thanks in advance for your help.
