I have a Dan Wesson Bobtail with an external extractor. I sent it to DW to have it checked and brought back to spec. They replaced the extractor, firing pin stop and barrel bushing. They also cleaned up the sear and disconnect and adjusted the trigger. I've put about 350 rounds through it since it's been back. I went to the range today and shot 200 rounds. Of those 200 rounds, 2 empty shells stuck it the port, parallel to the slide. Just like you opened the slide and dropped an empty into it long ways.
Half the rounds were shot with 2, 8 round Wilson mags, the other half shot with 2 Kimber tac-mags 7 round. Each time this FTE/stovepipe happened, it was with the Wilson mags. I was shooting Blazer brass 230.
Could the mag be causing this? It seems just opening the slide a little for the empty to drop out and releasing the slide does chamber another round. I shot about 20 rounds of Gold Dot and did not experience this problem. I don't believe I was limp wristing it and the gun was cleaned and lubed before shooting.
Thanks for any pointers.
