In a no-pressure situation such as a range I'd put the gun down pointed downrange and call the RSO for advice. If you have a backup weapon, this would be a very good time to bring it into play. Two malfunctions in a row is some real rotten luck, all I can say is in a real combat situation you may have worse problems than the possibility of one of those little buggers going off on you, and I wish you the best of luck in aggressively fixing the problem. Unless you forgot to remove the source while clearing the gun, the only other realistic scenario I can come up with when this could happen is if you get a failure to fire and then get a FTE while doing a tap/rack/bang to clear it. The next somewhat obvious thing to point out is that the only time you're going to get two live rounds chambered is if you rack the slide to chamber another round while there's already one in the pipe *and* you get a failure to extract. Failure to do this is a common cause for NDs, even if you never run into a jam. So before getting into solutions, I'd like to point out the obvious: always remove the source as a first step in clearing a gun. If this happened while *clearing* the gun, it indicates to me that you didn't drop the magazine before racking the slide to eject the chambered round. So, I had no idea what to do but hit some lucky choices.īut What should one do with a bad and potentially dangerous jam if you can't unjam it yourself as a regular safety-practice ? So, I put it somewhere that felt relatively safe for the night and next day propped it in the back seat securely and drove nice and slow and smooth to range, they had tools and finally removed the bullet. ) It was 11:00 pm at night, and I didn't know how and where to leave it for the night or drive it way out to my range next day. That was the other point of the jam: side of the barrel and the bullet tip jammed against it. I couldn't budge the bullet and case, was very near the primer with a small screw-driver and terribly worried that the firing pin would strike and hit the primer and explode the case, maybe firing the bullet (jammed like I said at an angle but partly in barrel. Been awhile and I can't remember the specifics: but in one of my semi-autos when I was unloading a bullet got jammed angling 1/3 of the way into the barrel and I believe the ejector had jammed it and was "pushing" the round off center of the case-rear from the primer, but placed very near it - not at all where ejector should have been - and the gun was cocked - again why I don't remember.
