If you want a reliable, bang every time no matter what pistol.....

You just described all my Hi-points. My 4095 will feed a wider range of ammo than my Ruger PC-40 that cost twice as much.

Besides, not everyone has gotten their Obama Unicorn yet to use to buy those guns.

It sounds like the round is hanging up on the edge of the chamber as others have mentioned. Did this happen with one magazine or did it happen with several magazines? Are the mags factory or Pro-Mag? The Pro-Mag mags are the #1 problem I come across with fellow Hi-point owners.

How tight is the slide? Applying a little lube helps greatly if the issue is dimply not enough slide energy to return to battery. you don't have to take the gun apart to lube, just lock the slide back and apply to the rear rails on the slide and then work it in by cycling the gun.
