That ammo won't cycle in guns with factory spec'd springs. If you want full power ammo you won't find it at discount. It's pretty much a buck a round, or learn to reload.
I gotta call a bit of BS on this. A service pistol should be able to cycle cheap bulk practice ammo (be it UMC or anything else). If you think you need to pay $1 a round to shoot for practice, you are being ripped off.

My Walther P99 has never failed to cycle anything I've ever fed it, including el cheapo UMC ammo, Winchester White Box, Federal American Eagle, PMC, or CCI Blazer. Likewise, it shoots high-dollar defensive +P ammo just as great.

For the OP, my guess is limp-wristing, failure to clean and properly lubricate the new pistol (even Glocks need cleaning/lubrication), or a pistol that needs to go back to Glock.
