Thanks everyone for the positive comments and support. And yes Ed, you were the defining influence in my purchase...thanks again brother!
UPDATE: I think I might've found the feeding issue. While cleaning the gun, I kept running through my head what other possibilities could lead to the my FTF's and stove pipes other than not breaking in the mags properly? I was told today that you should take new mags and load them and let them sit for a week or two to break them in.....never heard that before but I'm willing to try it! So I decided to look at the ammo to see if there was any differences between the two manufacturer's and sure enough...the S&B was longer, even to the naked eye....so I got out the micrometer to measure the COAL of the Sellier and Bellot rounds vs the Remington UMC rounds vs what the Speer #14 reloading manual says and this is what I found... S&B = 1.158" Remy UMC = 1.124" Speer Manual = 1.135" I'm no Einstein, but .034" is huge..see pic  So that's telling me that the S&B's are too long and more than likely the cause for the issues. I've got both mag's fully loaded to compress the springs and will take the Shield back out next week and run only Remy through it and see if the problems persist.

Stovepipes are probably due to the nose of the round hitting the bottom of the barrel hood coz of the OAL on the SB..just my take, but what do I know? BTW, Ed, NO MORE converting folks to tupperware..you get a pass on
 , coz of the whole tofu' California thing, but that's it HEY! I thought this was your WIFE'S gun. Remember, I gots your email and phone number..do I need to drop a dime on my 'pino brother? Mayhap I'll start a poll of the fambly

On a more positive note... my nephew (Army SSgt who is coming home from Afghanistan this month) is going to be getting one just like this with his unit engraving. Seems the entire unit voted to order these pistols. And I KNOW he doesn't limp wrist! So, plastic or otherwise.... it's got a Good HouseClearing stamp of approval.

First you buy a plastic tupperware gun, then you experience FTF's? I'm thinking just holding plastic caused you to limp wrist the pistol. Don't know fer positive... but do you get FTF's from your REAL guns?????? ROFLMBO! loveyaman! Da
