I've got a Browning High Power that was made about 1964, according to the information I can find. It's got the old-style internal extractor, like a 1911.
I'm a little puzzled because it has an interesting habit; about 50% of the time, or a little less, it will not eject the last round fired. It extracts it, but it doesn't eject it.
I've tried it with several different brands of ammo, and a couple of different bullet weights. Also with different magazines ( all Mec Gars though). Always with the same results. Doesn't seem to matter if the gun is clean or dirty, either.
I've checked the extractor and it seems fine. Same for the ejector.
It's not like it's really any big deal, since it doesn't tie up the gun ( the casing is always just sitting on top of the mag, and falls out when the mag is ejected )... but it bugs me all the same.
Anybody have any suggestions? Anything I should try?
