My dad has a MkII, which we all love.
I decided I needed one, so I bought a MkIII 22/45, new. It's a total POS. Besides the trigger being worse, the slide release being more fiddly, the magazine interlock, and the stupid loaded chamber indicator, it's not reliable. In particular, it refuses to strip the first round out of the magazine about half the time. It just jams the bullet against the bottom of the feed ramp, as if the magazine was not seated high enough. It does this with both magazines and a variety of ammo.
Am I doing it wrong, or did I get some kind of lemon?
