If your gun is equipped, like a double action, simply pulling the trigger again to hit the primer a second time will likely, but not always, cause the round to fire. One of the most popular mechanical reasons why a gun fails is because of a faulty magazine.
A faulty mag may not properly feed ammunition into the gun as it cycles, causing issues. One of the easiest ways to test if the mag is the issue is to use a different magazine.
If the issue suddenly clears up, try using the old mag again. If it persists with the one, but not with the other, chances are excellent that your magazine is faulty. In fact, while on the subject of springs, one of the parts that wears out that most people never even think about is the recoil spring assembly. Each gun manufacturer has guidelines about when they recommend changing the recoil spring out.
Suffice it to say that regular, proper maintenance to include cleaning is needed to keep your gun in tip top shape and to show you any issues that it may be having. This is a topic that almost nobody wants to talk about because everyone is an expert in their own mind. The real truth of the matter is that a gun malfunction can happen because the way you grip the gun is NOT right.
This is often called weak grip or limp wristing, but both terms are technically two different issues. When it recoils so much that the muzzle of the gun moves a lot, it can cause the cycle of the gun to end prematurely making the slide not pick up the next round right or ejecting the old one properly. Along the same vein is the limp wrist. The main thing to remember here is that you want to grip the gun to the point that it starts to shake, and then back off a bit until it stops shaking.
Together, this provides the gun with nearly degrees of a strong grip helping you minimize recoil and thus muzzle flip. Pistol specific operator jams are also a thing. Practice clearing malfunctions with dummy ammo, like these.
There are actually more things that can cause a pistol to jam up, but this article covers the most popular reasons why and how your pistols keeps jamming. I hope this answers your question regarding: Why does my pistol keep jamming. If so, let us know in the comments below. Things could also be dirty to prevent the cycle from completing so make sure your firearm is clean from debris.
A failure to feed is generally a gun jam that has a problem with the magazine feeding the gun of ammo properly. If the magazine loaded in any type of automatic weapon is not seated within the well of the firearm, it can have occasional problems to feed a bullet into the receiver correctly. Worn down magazines including the lips where the ammo pops up out of the magazine to feed is one of those areas of concern.
Another problem area lies with the magazine spring. If the springs get too much use or lack of use, then tend not to work well. Make sure your magazines are well maintained. Also, the quality of your magazines matter. Make sure the company you purchase from is a top notch manufacturer so your magazines last longer.
Sometimes defective parts can be a cause of frequent jamming. Worn down parts of firearms that have had frequent use over many years. This is especially common in wartime service weapons. These types of guns have not just been used in various combat situations but also have been through various weather elements which also contribute to the degradation of firearms.
Keep up standard maintenance on your firearms. Repair and replace defective parts over time. These are the most common reason on why guns jam. Failure to Eject : When the casing of a round exits the chamber but gets stuck in the ejection port, that is ejection failure. This often results when the shooter uses a weak grip on the firearm while shooting, causing the failure to eject.
