sound right, powder gas is being “spit out,” cartridge
primer is punctured or cartridge case is bulged or
punctured. HAVE THE FIREARM AND AMMUNITION
EXAMINED BY A COMPETENT GUNSMITH.

to determine if a HANGFIRE (slow ignition) has occurred.
If round has not fired within the 30 seconds, remove the
magazine, eject the round and examine the primer.

cartridge case may become jammed between the slide and

magazine.Pull the slide back and lock it to the rear by
engaging the Slide Stop. Remove the cartridge.

cartridges should be carried out according to instructions
provided by the manufacturer of the ammunition.
