Hey guys, I just bought a brand new SR40 for my fiance today. I tried to load it when we got home with both Hornady Critical Duty and Remington UMC but the gun wouldn't chamber either. The round gets stuck before the returns to its normal position. I'm curious if this is a common problem with an easy fix for if I need to get in contact of Ruger to get this issue fixed. If I jiggle the slide a little bit the round will eventually go in properly. But then if I try to eject that round and have another chamber, it's the same issue. Here's a picture of how the round ends up if I just rack the slide and let it go.
It's almost like the barrel doesn't want to go back into place properly when a round pushes against it. I field stripped the gun and didn't notice anything horribly out of place but the only other handgun I've owned is a S&W SW9VE and never had a single issue with it.
(And before anyone asks, yes all my rounds are 40S&W. I don't think I'm making any newbie mistakes)
