Do you have the case head?
Is the primer still in it?
Is the primer dented in or near the middle?
If so, you did not have the elusive "out of battery" firing.
Just because the hammer will drop with the slide back a little does not mean the gun will FIRE in that position.
Try it with a primed case if you want to know what is really going on. Wear ear muffs, a primer popping in the house is loud.
