Not a case separation but a case flip. It somehow ended up not ejecting, turning 180 degrees and lodging itself in the chamber case head first.
Now imagine having this malfunction when the chips are down…. That does not come out without tools.
Then again you have a better chance of hitting the lotto than this happening to you.
Most gunnies would be saying “I’ve shot over 5K rounds out of this pistol without a single malfunction. I trusted it with my life, and with the lives of my family. It’s even got grooves worn in it where my fingers grip it. And today it goes in the back of the safe.”
Sorry, but it’s not fair to blame the tool when it’s just delivers the message that $diety no longer loves you as much as your little brother.
Also, this one-in-a-bazillion event is precisely why you carry a backup.
stay safe.
Yup… one in a multi-bazillon. But interesting in any case. Modern sidearms (if not messed with) are almost 100% reliable…OK, 99.99999999999999999999999999999%
Ah, Glock. The only gun that consistently throws hot brass directly at my forehead.
It’s a shame what happened to Glock, but they did it to themselves.
Bet it was a Gen 4 Glock.
Any gun can lock up hard like that. That’s why I’m a fan of the New York reload.
Cation: “Well the range master said ‘make safe and show clear,’ you trying to say that isn’t safe?”
