I have noticed my KP89 grabs the shell once every about 100 rounds of CCI Blazer. The attached picture shows the result. It is also visible that the next round is pushed out a bit by the returning slide trying to get into battery. I don't understand why this happens. Some theories:
1) Limpwristing. That is what I thought previously, but as I get better and better with handguns through practice, this explanation becomes less and less plausible. For about the same number of total rounds, my PT92AFS has not coughed once.
2) Too much oil. Maybe I oil too much, so the crud from previous rounds dissolves in the oil and makes a sticky coating that grabs the round.
3) Some problem with the ejector? If so, why not more often?
4) Ammo problem - a weaker load once in a while?
I am thinking of calling Ruger and asking what's up, but maybe some of you guys have had the same problem and can let me know why this happens. Many thanks in advance.
P.S. Sorry about the crappy picture - there is some software problem with my camera too. When it rains, it pours.
