Had to happen..... and not when I was shooting it.
My very first handgun, the 22/45 (10110) had a FTE (eject) yesterday.
Chambered the new round but the ejected case got caught up.
I have put upward of 3,500 rounds through it.
Half my guns are Rugers, first time any fault with any of them.
I'm happy.

you were just racking it and it failed?

probably not the gun.

my sr1911 has FTE all the time when i'm just racking the slide over and over(like with snap caps for fun).... but has never had a FTE while shooting.

I'm sure James it's no big problem. It was the other persons fault. This can't happen to James. I sure you saw there's a move on to get you a sticker for 10,000 posts. Hope Lash or Buck does it.

Nope, happened after the second shot of ten. My daughter was shooting at the time.

One FTE in 3,500 is no big deal, had to happen eventually.

Sticker, no mate, I'm the modest type.....
