Had the glock go click while taking double taps. This prevents the cylinder from turning (typically primers will force the bullet just a little further down the barrel, but the next shot is certainly going to be catastrophic!) Squib load (Ammo defect) - a round with no powder and only a primer can possibly lodge the bullet halfway between the cylinder's chamber and the barrel's forcing cone. This makes it impossible for the hammer to reset for the next round. Hot load primer flow - an over-pressure load could cause primer flow which can force the primer metal into the firing pin hole and/or to "capture" the firing pin nose. ![]() S&W, Taurus) the rod gets "longer" as it unscrews until it binds tight. Loose Ejector Rod - A loose ejector rod can unscrew and if equipped with a barrel underlug that supports the rod (e.g. High-Primer - An excessively high primer can wedge against the recoil plate during rotation and cause enough friction to "jam" the gun. This "jams" the gun when the round can't clear the frame or forcing cone. Recoil induced bullet creep - high recoil can cause some projectiles to "walk" out of the case mouth & protrude beyond the front of the cylinder face. Sometimes nudging the slide a bit will fix it. Could be from dirt, debris, powder residue, etc. Out-Of-Battery - Gun does not fully close the action. Often times empty case caught in the ejection port.įTE(2) - Failure to Extract - Symptom: Empty case still in chamber, next round has fed up to the rear of the empty. ![]() Without getting into parts breakages that cause jams, some of the common ones I can think of are as follows Ĭlassic Stovepipe jam - Symptom: Case is caught, mouth up, in ejection port looking somthing like a stove's exhaust pipe.įeed Jam - Symptom: Cartridge failed to move from magazine to chamber, usually "jams" the slide open.įTE(1) - Failure to Eject - Symptom: Empty case caught at edge of ejection port.
