So I went to do a lint check on LCP .380 and as I racked the slide a curious thing happened.
The projectile remained in the barrel and the case extracted dumping its powder charge down the magazine. When I tilted the chamber back the lodged bullet dropped free but this is something that has happened 3 time to date.
The first instance was with Blazer aluminum cased 147gr (×2 from the same box) in a PT92, but this is Underwood 100gr lead fn.
I plunked the rest of the ammo and to my surprise they did NOT pass and had to be tapped out.
I carry these rounds as accuracy was good and they cycled well (my LCP has been ammo picky).
Not sure if this is a Ruger issue or Underwood issue but as a friendly reminder check your EDC ammo and weapon frequently! Stay safe out there.
