I have a Springfield Ultra Compact (PX9161L), and while at the range today, I had at least 8 failures to eject out of 100 rounds fired through it (230 gr. UMC). The gun has about 500 rounds through it, and prior to today has only had 2 FTE's.
The empty case would stay fully in the chamber, and the next round in the magazine would be pushed forward and jam the slide back. After I'd get the magazine out, the round would just fall out when I tipped the gun back.
I'm curious to know what the most common reasons there are for FTE's...and uncommon reasons. I wasn't limpwristing it, so that's not the problem.
Any idea's?
Thanks,
E
