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....
I bought a P3AT as a back up carry and I polished the feedramp with a dremel and so ultra fine polishing compound I also worked some slip 2000 EWL oil into the slide rails and have not had any feed issues since. I have about 750 or so rounds through it. I don't shoot this much as it is my back up(as if my HK would ever fail).
