Well, I went to the range after dinner to practice the grip Rob Leatham taught on American Shooter.
I ran three mags of CCI Blazer through her and then switched to some JHP reloads from my local gunshop.
7th round in an 8rd mag. Pulled the trigger, boom, pull the trigger, nothing. Think..hangfire...hold...wait...wait...eject...empty case comes out. Look in barrel, and sure enough there is a bullet with the base of the bullet even with the end of the chamber.
Now the funny thing is, it produced enough slide movement to cock the hammer, yet it did not pick up another round from the mag, nor did it eject the empty case.
I looked at the case, and the primer was not even with the base of the cartridge, but it did not have the look of an overpressurized round.
So, I am thinking that maybe the extractor did not pick up the rim upon feeding but slipped over it after the shot, but what would the deal be with cocking the hammer, while not picking up another round.
Anyone have any ideas?
