I'm not familiar with the Model 210. Tell me more. Are you having problems with FTF or FTE, stove piping. What condition are your magazines in?

90% of gun malfunction are because the gun is dirty. First thing is to clean it thoroughly.

Sluggish extraction can be a source of stove piping.

Check the ejector. Is it a fixed stationary ejector or is it spring operated? The former may be bent, misshaped or broken. On the latter make sure the spring is in working order and that the ejector moves freely.

Change ammo. Sometimes hotter ammo is needed if the problem is under function. If it our problem is hyper function, parts moving faster than it was designed to operate, then you need weaker ammo.

Make sure the gun is oiled too. Under function happens when there's too much friction that slows down the parts.

Good luck and get back to us.
