I bought the gun new about 3 weeks ago and fired it about 2 weeks ago. Shot 250 rounds through it without any complications. I cleaned the gun but did not completely break the gun down because it was no where near the number of rounds that the manual suggested break down for. I went to shoot today and the slide gets stuck when chambering the first 3 -4 rounds, you have to push on the back of the slide to get it to chamber the round. If I only put 4 in the clip it chamber smoothly. Also when I'm chambering the first round it sounds like the springs are catching on each other. Any suggestions?

Check the feed ramp for build up. I would go ahead and break it down to check the springs and get a really good look at the ramp.

Also check to make sure the mags lips haven't gotten pinched together causing the nose dive.

Thanks, I"ll give that a try hopefully over the next few days - work schedule is too hectic to mess with it tonight. I really appreciate your response though!
