Ok not sure on the exact terminology I need to use here...so I am going to ask for forgiveness on that.
My question lies with chambering a load. It seems that with the cheaper ammo I am finding that if I manually rack the slide I get a round stuck trying to feed up the ramp. However...if I lock the slide back...load a magazine...then release the slide...it loads every time no issues at all.
So my question is...Is letting a locked back slide slam forward to load the round bad on my gun? Is doing this going to cause more harm than the benefit I get of never having it not feed correctly?
Thanks for the help...just unsure what terms to search for in looking for an answer.
