Sucks you're having problems 
I ordered 4 extra mags with mine. I took them all and thoroughly cleaned and lubed them. Then I worked the shiznik outta the spring for a couple minutes to "loosen" them up a touch. I've loaded and shot them all with half a dozen types of ammo. No problems at all with any high velocity, round nose bullets. Love my GSG

Mine definitely is not a mag issue.Usually when I get a failure the spent shell is still in the chamber and the slide has only gone far enough back to put the pistol at half ####.Sometimes it goes back far enough to eject the empty and #### the hammer but not far enough to pick up a fresh one.

That's what happened when I tried to run some standard velocity ammo I have on hand. My GSG definately likes the high velocity stuff and empties mags without a hitch
Caper; don't grease the slide (couple of drops of gun oil) and ensure your grip isn't touching the slide. I find that any interferance will "F" up the cycle and cause problems.
Sounds all too familiar to me. Have a look at a thread I had going on my problems.

Post 26 shows pictures of where I found my problem and what I did about it.
May at least give you an idea or two on curing your issues.
In the end I got pissed off and went whole-hog grinding metal off that point in the frame (it's only a dust cover really at that part of the frame).
If you can get a piece of paper between the slide and frame you're probably ok. I couldn't at first. I can get a small car through there now and the slide worked noticeably quicker and smoother.
Just something to look at.
Good luck.
