That's right, I said it. My ever so trusty M&P 9c failed to eject today. I had a "malfunction" on round #5 after no field stripping out of the box (doesn't really count anyway) and it wasn't a FTF or FTE, the slide just didn't go far enough forward to let the trigger work. That had to have been because the rails weren't completely lubed. No more trouble until today.
It had been about 150-200 since the last cleaning (no bore snake even) and I was shooting super chepo reloaded range ammo. I am 99% positive that the brass was deformed (didn't get to see it after the guy that cleared it for me dropped it on the floor). I didn't know what to do when it jammed so I let him fix it.
Here's how it went.
The round fired, slide came back, no shell came out (not stove pipe, the brass stayed all the way in the chamber), then it tried to chamber a fresh round on top of the empty brass... I dropped the mag and let the slide fall forward in hopes it would eject it the second time around...nothing.... one more try cycling the slide.... slide wouldn't come back at all!
The gentleman at the range popped the slide back and pushed the brass out with a punch (brass, not fist). Then 20 more rounds with no issues. Then I left cause I was pissed.
I have had minor trouble with this ammo before (Atlanta Arms). Just last week I opened a box and noticed that one primer was all screwed up (barely there). So I really think it was the ammo but it will be a few hundred rounds before I'm comfortable with it on my hip again.
