I think you made the right choice
Should you experience any feeding problems with the Fed Ord, remember to try a different magazine and/or ammuntion type before fiddling around with the gun itself.
Both are pretty much standard 'first advice' for autopistols, and one or the other fixes many 'problems' right on the spot.
If such a generalized approach doesn't work, then I'd try factory hardball (mostly likely Federal-brand) and a specific magazine, a 7-round Wilson (FWIW, the 47C is my favorite).
Lastly, if that particular combo didn't do the trick, then I'd probably look into the extractor tension before anything else. It's pretty common to find it 'over-adjusted' (too tight) and very easy to fix.
