This was a new one to me. I was at a range today and saw a Kimber Rapide do the strangest missfeed I had ever heard of, much less actually seen. This is an almost new pistol with less than 100 rounds through it. Firing Handloaded, 230gr FMJ, new brass, can't remember the powder charge, but is was not a hot load or a wimpy load of Unique. I'll update after I look it up.
The pistol jammed, an unfired round was trapped crooked in the slide. Shooter cleared the round, locked back the slide, dropped the magazine. The previously fired round's empty case was IN THE MAGAZINE, on top of the other unfired rounds. No barrel obstruction afterwards, he checked.
Anybody ever seen or heard of such a thing before??
P.S. Pistol was field stripped, cleaned, and lubed lightly as the manual instructed before going to the range.
