I polished the feed ramp a little but it didn't do any good. I've had a couple failures to eject (due to not cleaning after each range trip I'm guessing). I've also recently had a couple FTFs while shooting Blazer steel cased FMJ.
Seriously starting to think about getting a Springfield XDS in .45 or a XD subcompact for CCW. My other Springfields don't have issues like the Shield.
Some of the problems could be me as I'm no gun expert and need to take some training classes. I just try to pay attention to the advice given here over the years.

I'm not being sarcastic or uppity when I say this: That particular gun I would never bank my life on.
Concur with the XD. Glock, FN, Ruger...
anything that works out to be as consistent as possible when you pull the trigger.
