Semi-automatic pistols<\/a>, which make up about 20% of the guns owned in the United States, have a lot of benefits. They hold more ammo<\/a>, fire faster, and can be more accurate with practice. Unfortunately, creating a more complex mechanism means they can be more prone to malfunctions as well. Understanding what to do in various circumstances will keep you, your firearm, and everyone around you safe. Here are five common pistol malfunctions and what you can do to prevent, or quickly correct, them.<\/p>\n

Tip-Up (Misfeed)<\/h2>\n

If the next round from your magazine<\/a> doesn\u2019t make it into the chamber, you may find it with its nose lodged against the barrel hood. This awkward positioning will lock up the action and jam the weapon. Inexperienced shooters may tell you to pull the side back and jiggle the stuck round loose. However, this could make things worse. Instead, remove your magazine \u2014 which might take a bit of extra work if the jammed bullet prevents the ejector from dropping it automatically \u2014 and rack the slide<\/a> to clear it. Once cleared, insert a new magazine and get back to shooting.<\/p>\n
