Internal Ballistics Part I listed detailed descriptions on each of the elements in the cycle of operation, which are: Feeding, Chambering, Locking, Firing, Unlocking, Extracting, Ejecting, and Cocking. I chose failure to feed since it is arguably the start of the cycle of operations. This first article: “Diagnosing Pistol Malfunction – Part I” will provide an in-depth discussion on failure to feed.
In general, there are three main types of malfunctions: (1) failure to feed (2) failure to fire and (3) failure to extract/eject. There is a lot of material to cover in regard to diagnosing pistol malfunctions, so I’ll break the topic into a three-article series. They are geared more toward understanding “what” makes their pistol malfunction and what can be done to prevent the malfunction, rather than just relying on corrective actions alone. These questions go beyond discussing the skills required to clear malfunctions. Whether on the range or via e-mail, I receive a lot of questions regarding pistol malfunctions.
