I had my first FTF with my LCP today at the range. I was shooting #4 of 6 in the clip when I just had a click when I pulled the trigger. Another pull and click. I checked the chamber and the bullet appeared to be at the top of the magazine. It had an arrow shaped impression I think in the case (may have been the slug, I don't remember now). I removed the magazine from the gun and just looked at it. I put it back into the gun and racked it and fired #4 thru 6 with no problems. It's as if the bullet was either not high enough in the clip to get cycled, or it was way too tight in the magazine (not apparent though).
I have no idea why it 'caught' and fed when I reinserted the magazine. The ammo was the usually reliable, yet cheap, copper coated Remmington hardball. The green label stuff.
Any thoughts? I had previously run a couple of hundred rounds thru the gun and cleaned it. I've never had a failure to feed where the bullet didn't look out of shape or lodged funny, etc. It just didn't load. First failure of any type for this gun.
