Sorry, I din't see your original request (our news feed is a bit
funny on this group). I have a Backup and have the following
experience: first 100 rounds 3 failures to feed. Since then
~2000 rounds, no failures from the original or the spare (3rd
party) magazine. Admitedly I haven't shot anything more
threatening than paper, but it goes bang when I pull the
trigger, which is desirable in a gun of this type. 

I'm thinking about getting one in 22 to shoot when I don't
feel like spending a lot on ammo. Even loading my own, the cost
of cases is fairly high, and the ejection is positive (ie. if
you shoot outside in grass you lose a lot of cases).
