My Star Firestar .40 S&W does not eject the last fired case. The case sets loosely on top of the empty magazine with the slide locked open. Normally, it causes no problems at all and the case can either be shaken out through the ejection port or will follow the magazine when it is removed from the gun. If I happen to drop the slide and the fired case attempts to chamber, it can cause a slow-to-clear jam.
This only happens with jacketed factory rounds or jacketed reloaded rounds. With lead semi-wad cutter reloads the last fired case does eject, but only travels two or three feet, instead of nine or ten feet. Is there a solution to this problem, or should this not be considered a problem?
