If your gun is "Double Feeding", it sounds like the extractor might be losing control of the spent case before it gets tossed out of the gun.
Check your extractor tension and configuration.

It is always best to state the caliber of your gun when posting on the Forum. As you know, there are series 70 Colt pistols in 9mm, .38 super, .45 acp, etc.

What ammo are you using? Factory or reloads? If factory, name the manufacturer, bullet type/weight, and name (e.g. Gold Dot, HST, etc).

FYI; Never drop the slide on a chambered round. It was not designed to snap-over a chambered round. This can 'back-bend' the extractor so it doesn't have enough tension. If this is a previously owned pistol, a previous owner could have done this. There is info on this forum and in a few 1911 manuals like Kuhnhausens book on how to bend and properly tension the extractor. But too much bending will weaken it and it won't keep up. A new, quality extractor is the remedy then.

Let's see pictures of your ejector. If it still happens after swapping the entire slide assembly something's going on that won't let it kick out the empty case.

Yes exactly it still does the same thing with a different slide I’ll post some pictures

Need some answers to the questions that have been asked.

USING A SIZED EMPTY CASE, OR LIVE ROUND WITH PISTOL POINTED IN A SAFE DIRECTION AND FINGER OFF THE TRIGGER, with magazine removed, will the extractor remove a chambered round and hold it against the breech-face till it hits the ejector? If the slide is traveling back far enough to strip a fresh round off the top of the mag, but the fired case isn't getting out of the way, the fired case is not staying locked against the breech-face of the slide and it's not hitting the ejector.

Another possibility is the recoil spring is too strong for the ammunition being used.

There are ejectors with extended nose, developed for the Commander which has a slightly shorter rearward slide travel, but a standard ejector should work in a standard 5in pistol.
