went shooting today for one last time before i go back to college on Saturday. i had shoot about 50 rounds through my sr9c so far and then i pull the trigger on the next round. the striker stuck the round and nothing happened. i waited for several seconds knowing the round could go off at any time and nothing happened. after a good amount of time i decided it would be safe to rack the slide ejecting the bad round. the slide would not move so i gave it a tap on the bottom of the mag and tried to rack the slide again, normal procedure to fix a malfunction. the slide was still jammed and would not move. upon further inspection i noticed the trigger was still back and striker was still forwards and the slide was not fully forwards but rather a centimeter or so back and could not be pushed forwards or pulled back either. the gun was jammed and nothing was working to get it unjammed still with the round in the chamber which the firing pin had struck. a friend of mine with more gun experience and knowledge took a look at it and tried to fix it, nothing was working. he finally just pulled as hard as he could back on the slide and it finally opened. the primer pulled right out the back of the cartridge and was stuck to the firing pin but popped right off. the case with the bullet still in it was still in the chamber and would not come out. we used a flat head screw driver to basically pry to round out of the gun. i was shooting winchester white box 100 pack of 9mm. my guess is the round was bad but im stumped as to how the firing pin got stuck in the primer and jammed the gun holding both the striker forwards and the slide. they were stuck together good enough to rip the primer out of the case.
please anyones imput on what happened and how. also which you think was bad the gun or the ammo?
