I just purchased this gun, and the first time at the range with 27grain ammuntion had problems feeding and ejecting. Tried using 40grain and had no issues. Is this a common problem with the lighter weight round especially with a new firearm? Thanks

Hi Randall, It will take at least a couple of hundred rounds to break in/loosen the stiff recoil spring to reliably shoot the lighter 27 grain ammo. You can speed up the process by locking back the slide for a couple of days. Cheers and stay safe!
