Folks. Had a failure to eject today at an IDPA match. The gun has never done this before in thousands of rounds. It did it twice in 90 rnds.
The case is still in the barrel and is a spent case. Ejector some how failed to grab the rim and eject it. Worst part about this one is, it’s catastrophic. That is, no “tap, rack, bang” is going to get the gun working again. You have to lock back the slide, remove the mag, then remove the spent case from the gun.
What’s the diagnosis for this type of failure to eject? Worn ejector? It probably has 8-10k rnds on it.
