Stuck round in glock

[shoengine]

Any idea how to free this round? I'm at a loss... and a little uncertain about transporting it like this. I can't move the action at all currently.

Looks like FTF... Extractor engaged... Gonna have to safely get that slide back... Piece of wood set above the round on the breech block (slide), extending past the muzzle a bit and push against a tree...?

So force the action back a ways?

Yes... the slide.... safely...!

 

[shoengine]

It worked! Thanks! Fortunately I'm surrounded by sticks.

oversized reload?

Looks like when it was loaded the bullet wasn't in straight and folded a bit of the case mouth over

Enquiring minds want to know:

Your reloads or someone else's?

Good question. I'm not actually sure if they are my wife's or her dad's. Either way, something was missed. It was her gun so I think she's pretty interested in what happened there.

I learned the hard way also, don't use other people's reloads. I will not shoot reloads at all in fact. Even factory reloads have issues. But I'm sure there are tons of people that will say their reloads are awesome, so to each his own. Hopefully no one is carrying reloads at least.

I was waiting for someone to bash Glock. Alas it was an ammo issue. Good for the OP, bad for the haters.

Live round ?
If so, proceed carefully (had to say it)

Definitely a reload qc issue. Found two like this.

When you reload pistol you "bell" (or flare) the case mouth open, slightly more than bullet diameter.
This is so you don't shave off bullet jacket material as the the bullet is pushed in.
The you squeeze the case back into spec.

It's possible that your reloads still had some case flare that was not addressed properly.
And then it snagged on the way into the chamber.
