It may just need a little "breaking in". When the magazine is full, the top is under more spring pressure and may be slowing down the slide. The next round also pushes up on the slide with a bit more force than when a few rounds are fired. This could prevent the slide from closing fully, ...

These 4 shots were the top bullets in the magazine. I wonder what's going on, i loaded the magazines according to the manual. There was a mark at t...
