No, you didn’t. Unless I missed something…Added a picture of the issue in question.
it is a solid metal frame. with glocks you need to use a wooden plank at the base of the grip - here you just turn gun vertical, barrel looking up and not into your face , grab slide very firmly in your hand, and then smack the handgrip at the wooden bench where you are firing.Slide is stuck slightly rearward with a round in the chamber.... as far as I know. I know "the mills" must have someone who could help, but can any of you recommend someone specifically there or near there? Thank you guys.View attachment 545897
i bet 90% it was just an oval round. i had it happened to me may be 4-5 times lately, again, mostly due to buying various crappy brass ammo online.The couple guys I know at the mill are dealers (good ones!), but unfortunately not smiths. Mike La Rocca in Worcester can help you out. If elbow grease isn't doing the job, probably a good idea to be looking for a smith. When resolved, please post what malfunctioned and how it was fixed.
plenty of grip there, just need to hold it well, and better wear a glove not to take skin off by the cuts on the slide when you will smack it.Problem with the shadow 2 is there is barely any surface area to grab the slide and get a firm grip
ALSO!!!Added a picture of the issue in question. Was also able to aim the phone camera safely to inspect and indeed there is a round in there. At the time I tried rack the slide and I did also try to get it back into battery by hitting the rear of the slide with the palm of my hand. I couldn't get it to budge. Thanks for the replies this far and any further advice and suggestions.
I guess I meant to say compared to something like a Glock or Sig with a blocky slide. The shadow 2 slide is narrower and tapered as you know.plenty of grip there, just need to hold it well, and better wear a glove not to take skin off by the cuts on the slide when you will smack it.
it has enough mass to dislodge it, dunno, unless in his gun something broke inside but looking at it now i cannot think what is could possibly be.
you should get yourself one, it is a great gun. i absolutely love it. it looks like it is not much in there, but in reality it is easier to rack than a glock. different level of quality and machinery.I guess I meant to say compared to something like a Glock or Sig with a blocky slide.

Lol. I was one of the few in MA with one in early 2017. Nice gun for sure. Mine is fully cajunized. 2.5# SA and 5.5# DA triggeryou should get yourself one, it is a great gun. i absolutely love it. it looks like it is not much in there, but in reality it is easier to rack than a glock. different level of quality and machinery.
i made finish mine over winter, it needs to get hammer pin depressed - right now it is only springs swapped and firing pin, so SA is at #3-#3.5.Lol. I was one of the few in MA with one in early 2017. Nice gun for sure. Mine is fully cajunized. 2.5# SA and 5.5# DA trigger
Have not had the joy of that experience yet. Never had a problem with WWB ammo, and that's my plinking go-to. I think if I had run across any oval rounds I'd get a jam. I'm using a Storm Lake 9mm conversion barrel in a G35- so it's basically a bull barrel G34 with slightly tighter dimensions. Easy shootin' tack driver.i bet 90% it was just an oval round. i had it happened to me may be 4-5 times lately, again, mostly due to buying various crappy brass ammo online.
never had it happen with a steel tula, btw.
and when it gets stuck, damn, it is usually stuck well. had it in both shadow2 and g34 - g34 seems to be more prone to it.
Good advice. I’m not a big fan of trying to smack it back in to battery because now you may be jamming a problem round fully into the chamber and also risking the pin going forward. Gently try and get it back into battery to see if that’s the issue, but don’t force it.ALSO!!!
it is very important!
be very careful while smacking shadow 2 - the firing pin there has no internal safety, so, it may fire during a good smack, especially if you have an extended pin in there. it did not happen to me, yet - but it is possible, so , just be careful.
I had this problem w some of the Covid TSUSA ammo in my P365 (maybe it was the Belom). I only shoot that ammo out of the full sized guns now, it doesn’t jam as much in the bigger guns and is infinitely easier to clear when it does.Have not had the joy of that experience yet.
