we were doing quick shooting..5 in one target 5 in another target change clips 5 in another target 4 in another target and 1 at the gong.The one at the gong didnt go off..looked at the gun ,stove pipe..cleared then shot the last at the gong...the last shot made a louder bang and the slide slamed back...stuck...was able to release the slide when I got it home..the barrel isnt split just bowed enough for slide not to work...i know i should have checked the barrel when i noticed the stovepipe but everything is happening so fast in a speed round.....my bad...im still not sure there was something stuck in the barrel...ive seen a barrel that had a bullet stuck and another fired right behind it,,the barrel was split wide open.............not mine just a little bow
