I have a new Magnum Research Baby Eagle III 9MM 4.3 full size, steel frame 15 round and I am experiencing a lot of Failure to Feed with many varieties of ammo. During the first 500rds, I have FTF (as much as 50%) with 115gr target ammo from AmmoInc, Fiocchi, Magtech, S&B and Winchester. I have not had any issues with 115gr and 124gr CCI Blazer. Gun also jams if I do not freely release the slide. There was one review of Baby Eagle that had jamming issue. Please share any experience or resolution.

Hi Jeffrey and welcome. If a particular brand of ammunition does not have issues, 115gr and 124gr CCI Blazer, then there is something about the bullet, power of the other ammunition the pistol does not like. Since you have likely fired enough rounds for the break in period and thoroughly cleaned the firearm, a call to Magnum Research for advice/service may be the next step. Cheers and stay safe!
