I have a new Kahr PM40 and can't get it to feed factory ammo reliably. Failure to feed and failure to go into battery are common occurences. I've run 200+ rounds from several makers. 155 gr, 165 gr and 180 gr. Looks like when stripping a round from the mag the bullet wants to go down rather than up the ramp. Mostly happens on first and/or second round from a mag. Failure to go into full battery happens randomly. The slide is about 1/8 inch from going into battery; I've been pushing on the slide with my thumb to complete the cycle. This is a new PM40 just as it came from the factory.

Any suggestions?
