Videos tagged with Failure to Extract

This review of the Kel-Tec PR 380 highlights its fixed magazine and stripper clip feeding system, contrasting it with traditional detachable magazine handguns. The reviewer demonstrates significant challenges with both loading and clearing malfunctions, particularly double feeds, due to the fixed magazine design. While acknowledging the PR 380's compact size and potential for concealed carry, the review concludes that existing alternatives like the Smith & Wesson Bodyguard 380 offer superior functionality and ease of use, especially in handling malfunctions.

This guide details the process of replacing a faulty extractor in a Bul Armory SAS II Ultralight pistol, a common issue highlighted by Yoki Sturrup. After experiencing persistent failures to extract with both factory and replacement parts, an aftermarket Atlas Gunworks extractor was installed, resolving the reliability problems. The process involves careful disassembly, component replacement, and reassembly, emphasizing the importance of proper extractor tension for 2011 platforms.

This video demonstrates common firearm malfunctions, specifically stovepipe and failure-to-extract issues, using a Smith & Wesson Model 52 chambered in .38 Special Wadcutter. The presenter, JaredAF, highlights how specific ammunition types can exacerbate these problems. The content serves as a cautionary example for firearm handling and maintenance.

This video documents a 1000-round burndown test of the Sig Sauer P211 GTO handgun, equipped with a Romeo X optic. The test revealed a significant number of malfunctions, including failures to extract and eject, and culminated in the optic detaching from the firearm. The presenter attempted to mitigate issues with lubrication, but the firearm demonstrated poor reliability throughout the endurance test.

Alyssa Seymour, a competitive shooter, details her experience with a 'failure to extract' malfunction during a classifier stage. She emphasizes the importance of resilience and pushing through the issue, even if it impacts the score. The video demonstrates a practical approach to clearing this common firearm problem under pressure, highlighting the need for a strong mindset in competition.

This video tests the reliability of a post-World War I Luger pistol, specifically addressing the common claim that they frequently jam. The test involved firing three rapid shots, followed by tests with a loose grip and a side grip. While initially reliable, the pistol eventually experienced a failure to extract, resulting in a stovepipe malfunction that required manual clearing.

This guide details how to address blown primers and extraction failures, common issues arising from faulty ammunition. The video demonstrates critical steps for identifying overpressure signs in spent casings and diagnosing mechanical malfunctions caused by debris. It emphasizes immediate cessation of firing and careful inspection, highlighting the expertise of the instructor in diagnosing these critical firearm problems.

This video explains how buffer weights are used to tune commercial rifles, particularly when dealing with ammunition variables and overgassed systems. The instructor details how different buffer weights (H1, H2, H3) can mitigate issues like bolt carrier bounce and fast cycling caused by higher-pressure ammunition, by slowing down the action. He emphasizes that military rifles are designed with known variables, while commercial rifles must accommodate a wider range of ammunition, making buffer tuning a common adjustment.

This guide outlines a universal, two-step method for clearing common pistol malfunctions, emphasizing efficiency over diagnosis. The instructor, demonstrating expert-level authority, explains that this approach resolves the vast majority of issues, allowing the shooter to maintain situational awareness. A secondary universal step is provided for more persistent malfunctions.

This video details a practical test of seven different 9mm handguns to evaluate their reliability when subjected to a 'limp wrist' shooting technique, a common cause of malfunctions. The instructor, JaredAF, objectively tests each firearm with Fiocchi 9mm Luger ammunition, documenting specific stoppages like failures to feed, extract, and eject. The results highlight significant differences in how various firearm designs handle this stressor, providing valuable insights for shooters.

This video from Guns & Ammo demonstrates two critical drills for clearing firearm malfunctions: the Immediate Action Drill (Tap Rack) for common issues like stovepipes, and the Remedial Action Drill for more complex problems like double feeds. The instructor emphasizes the importance of muscle memory and a consistent approach to quickly resolve issues and maintain readiness in a defensive situation.

This review of the Rock Island Armory Tac Ultra MS 10mm 1911 highlights initial reliability issues, specifically failures to eject and extract, occurring within the first three magazines. The presenter discusses potential causes including magazine feeding problems, the need for more lubrication, and the possibility of a faulty ejector. Solutions explored include using different ammunition (ball ammo), upgrading to Wilson Combat magazines, and installing an EGW mag catch to improve feed ramp alignment. The presenter emphasizes the need for a reliable 10mm for backcountry defense against predators like bears, noting the pistol's all-steel construction contributes to manageable recoil, even less snappy than a 9mm.
