Failure to Eject: Extraction Failure
My used Sig P226 was failing to eject and I was taking the blame for it, assuming I was limp-wristing or otherwise shooting it stupidly and it turns out the barrel entrance was worn so the cases were expanding and not ejecting. After someone who is gun savvy figured that out (and showed me how a cartridge would wiggle around in my barrel but was nice and snug in one of his) I ordered a barrel. (ka-)ching. I took it to the range today for the first time and it worked perfectly. My marksmanship sucked; I'm blaming that on the giant diet coke I had right before I went out there. But anyway, I tried to title this so if someone else is having the same problem maybe a search will bring this up.
