Maybe she's telling you to shoot her more. Any malfunctions when shooting?

Nope shoots like a champ Never fired in cold weather though.

I think I read a thread around here recently where they were discussing how oiling the slide in cold weather is actually causing the stiffness problem due to it gumming up from the low temperatures. You may want to try just cleaning it all off and see how it cycles.

Innocent life is cheap--a few hundred bucks for an abortion. Guilty life is expensive--a couple million for appeals, incarceration, and execution. How bass-ackwards is our society?
