#PSA

You may want to remove your #EDC from its holster, point it in a safe direction, and dump the magazine...

My first round failed to eject, and I had 3 subsequent rounds in that magazine either fail to eject or not cycle completely.

Bewildered, I loaded my spare magazine and fired every round with no issues.

I then reloaded both magazines, and every round fired/cycled as it should.

I'm thinking years of hand-cycling after cleaning my weapon pushed the bullet down into the cartridge, and even I've "rotated" that first round multiple times to avoid what inevitably happened, it happened anyway, multiple times.

Thoughts?

YIKES, DEFINITELY WOULDN'T WANT THAT TO HAPPEN WHEN YOU NEED IT MOST. I ALSO PERIODICALLY DUMP DEFENSIVE ROUNDS TO CONFIRM ZERO, REST/ROTATE MAGS, AND STAY FROSTY.

YOUR IDEA FOR THE MALFUNCTION SEEMS PLAUSIBLE, OR PERHAPS HUMIDITY COULD HAVE AFFECTED THE TOP FEW ROUNDS - DEPENDING ON YOUR CONDITIONS AND THE DURATION OF CARRYING SAID ROUNDS.

That's actually a really good thought... it gets pretty swampy in the summer, especially since I carry appendix.

Tap rack bang?

Oh but of course!
