EMP4 CCC malfunctions

I finally got around to shooting my new EMP4 CCC. I only ran 150 rounds of PMC Bronze 115 grain FMJ ammo through it, but I experienced 3 different types of malfunctions, multiple times. I used the same magazine, as well.

A few times, the nose of the bullet would nose dive into the feed ramp, not allowing the round to chamber. I also had the slide not lock back on the last round a few times. The last malfunction, was the slide wouldnt always go all of the way back into battery, and I had to bump the rear of the slide, to get it to do so.

I called Springfield, and they recommeded trying a different magazine, and a different type of ammo. I have not had time to do either of these yet.

I was curious to hear from those of you that have had a similar experience. Thanks a lot!

Brand new pistol - before going forward - dissemble pistol, detailed cleaning & lubricate. If malfunctions persist: change ammo, change magazine and lastly communicate with & return to Springfield, their customer service is peerless.
