Someone suggested I field strip it and buff and polish the feed ramp with a dremel, which I did last night. Haven't gotten to test it yet.

I've put some Militec 1 grease on the slide rails as well as breach and that helped a lot with the stiffness.

I'm not sold yet on this 9mm, although several people recommended it as the lightest and smallest possible concealed weapon. Might just sacrifice the weight issue and stick with my trusty old 357 magnum....
Get a S&W J-Frame .38spl + p. It allows for a faster followup shot compared to the 357 magnum.
