Has anyone ever experienced a malfunction like this. The fired case ejected back into the chamber base forward. This is a Springfield XD 3" in 9mm. I was contacted by some old colleagues in Alaska asking to review a case, this has many baffled.  |

I have never seen that before. That probably happens in 1 in a million malfunctions.

Actually yes. I had it happen just a couple of weeks ago with a friends .45acp Taurus 1911.
Over the course of 3 separate days, we ending up firing approximately 500+ rounds through the gun. It was on the third day at the end of our shooting. I believe that we were doing some bullseye-esque shooting when it happened i.e. nice slow shooting. It was the last shot fired on a ten round mag. I noticed it when I tried to load a fresh mag and the round was refusing to load into the chamber.
I couldn't believe it when I figured out that a case was jammed into the barrel backwards. Would not have believed it myself if it had not happened to me personally.

My guess as to why it happened was that the gun was starting to get dirty and the slide wasn't able to fully cycle. The gun was starting to experience occasional malfunctions on the third day and I figured it was overdue for a cleaning. My though process is that between using whatever cheap ammo my buddy bought and having a dirty and cheap 1911, that the slide wasn't fully coming to the rear and hammered the shell into the barrel. 1 in a million kind of thing.

Not on a semi, but before I got a new bolt, my bergara would flip the case around some times. I'm guessing it's an ejection issue of some kind. Limp wrist?

I'm guessing it's an ejection issue of some kind. Limp wrist? My XDm used to have ejection issues when I first got it if it was fired by people who tended not to grip the gun tight enough. Assuming that a person shot themselves in the CNS, instantly incapacitating them, resulting in a loose grip on the gun. I suppose this could result in that specific malfunction. |
