That one gun breakdown...

[Alan]

What’s the most notable malfunction you’ve experienced, and what was your solution?

I had a stovepipe jam at a local match once. I later found out it was just cheap ammo and a dirty extractor. I cleaned everything up and switched ammo and it hasn't happened since.

I once stepped out at night time on my patio to shoot a black bear in the backside with non-lethal rubber buck shot. I stepped out within 6 feet of that big hairy beast, lined up my sights and pressed the trigger. Pop-sizzle-sizzle-hisssss. Some kind of weird ammo failure!! When I racked the fore end to feed another round, still burning powder shot out of the ejection port. Luckily from me, the bear turned and ran away instead of turning around and attacking me.

Wow! Well, that’s one way to learn why bears don’t appreciate backyard fireworks and misfired ammo
