Thanks for the comments. The extractor looked OK and the chamber didn't feel sticky or tight when I put a round in it before cleaning. I did thoroughly clean everything and I polished the ramp and chamber. Not sure if it is even possible with a lighter load for the slide to not to fully open and not eject the fired casing, but pickup a fresh round from the magazine. I doubt that's a possibility, but I did replace the thicker plastic buffer that came in the gun with the thinnest one of the 5 extras that came with it. My thinking is that the recoil spring will be slightly less compressed and therefore take a little less recoil to cycle the slide. Later I went to my nearest indoor range and fired 150 rounds with NO issues. Thanks again.
