  Sounds like an extractor problem. It may be putting to much tension on the case and not releaseing it.

  Sounds like you were limp wristing it. Try holding the gun more ridgid and see if the problem goes away.

  It wasn't the ammo. All good quality ammo is built to spec on the casings, and if one will function, all will. The bullet nose may affect feeding, but not the case. When you shoot compact or short grip auto's, you need to hold the gun tightly to allow it to function correctly. Go back and try the other ammo when you get a chance so you can prove it to yourself, and have confidence in the pistol. You have a very fine gun and should have full confidence in it and youself.
  
  Happy shooting.
