First round jams

I'm manually loading. Not quite sure what you mean by slide stop. Appreciate your comments.

Thanks for the definitions. I was manual loading. My next thought was to get a few different types of ammo and also using the suggestion of the other gentleman, seating the bullets in the magazine with a hand tap.

Thanks again for your comments. Love the gun but got to get beyond this problem.

Purchased new May 2001, but I just purchased it from first owner unfired.

I believe I'm letting the slide go on ot's own but next time I'm out, I'll pay attention. Where can I get a recoil spring? Based on all the write-ups I purchased it because of reliability. I'm a little frustrated until I can get out again with better results. I appreciare everyone's input.

Thanks, I'll give it a try and report back.
