I purchased my first handgun (Ruger SR9) a few months back and have not even had a chance to fire a round. At the advice of a co-worker/gun owner, I have cleaned and lubricated the gun on two seperate occasions and have run through the contents of the clip (an attempt to "break-in" the spring). I have also emptied all the rounds from the clips, wiped clean, and reloaded to avoid moisture from humidity causing issues later.
However, on both occassions, while chambering and ejecting the rounds, a round has become lodged just short of being "chambered". The first time, I was fortunate enough to be able to wiggle the slide action back and the round ejected. This time, not so much. The slide is jammed partially rearward and the round is not quite in the chamber. I have found sources of information on clearing multiple types of jams, but none like this.
If anyone has any suggestions, or would like more info before offering advice please let me know.
