I don't recommend a tap rack on a stovepipe : it's the best way to get a double feed. You don't know whether there's already a round or a case in the chamber.
Just rotate the gun as you rack 90 degrees to the right and gravity will drop the casing. If you're getting type 3s from a tap rack flip your gun is a piece of shit😂
I know but some people don't have the reflex to turn the gun upside down.
@@methodeetrigueur1164 Common sense.
@@methodeetrigueur1164especially not while being attacked. Shit happens fast when it goes down
Short and sweet and gets to the point! Great video
Glad you liked it!
If this is for beginners, there is a very very high chance the misfires and jams are from a dirty gun. A good deep clean can fix a lot of issues, just from experience 👍🏻
That does not cause stove pipes
Thank you, I had a type 1 malfunction my first time out with my first pistol. Luckily I had an idea of what to do.
Nice work. Clear spoken. Clear and precise. Thanks.
"In a real life situation, drop your mag to the ground, then pick it up later since it was your only magazine"
What about SQUIBS? Most dangerous malfunction you can have...
I’ve been having an issue where I’ll fire a round down range and it feeds just fine but right as the next round is going to be cycled the slide will lock about 2 millimeters from where the next round is ready to be fired and I have to push the slide manually back to the front. Any suggestions? Very confusing and I’m using a SAR9 with about 250 rounds through it. It’s done this about 12 times.
Very well done, thanks! I just read an article in an NRA publication about these problems, BUT a video makes a big difference in explaining these problems. I am a new shooter, and on my first trip to the shooting range with my SD 9 I had a problem with stovepipes. Since that time, I hold the firearm more firmly.
Glad we could help!
When handling a stovepipe, always take ur hand and go across the slide to knock the stove pipes round out it will immediately put the other round into battery without a double feed.
Everything else was fine
Agreed
I literally had 4-5 misfires using Fiocchi 115gr grain range ammo and 2-3 failure to feed. On a brand new fn reflex and Glock 19.3. Bad day
I made a mistake and loaded a bullet backwards...tried to fired and now two bullets are stuck facing each other and i dont what the hell to do
Dont rush, you got time, uea thats how life and death situations play out lol
Just got a new mag at bass pro when I suppose really stiff new springs made it double feed thanks for the info!!
That is correct if not done properly improper clearing of a primary malfunction can cause a secondary malfunction a double feed.
@4:26 What the... I wasnt expecting you to go all Lo Pan like that! 😅
This deserves much more views
Thanks!!
Had to clear my first ever malfunction the other day and it was a double feed. Very encouraging to find out that I used the right protocol to clear it😁
I've heard doing tap/rack for a stovepipe can lead to a double feed. Have you guys heard/seen that happen?
Racking with force to allow the round below the stuck case to throw both out or turning the gun upside down when you rack should prevent the potential double feed.
How about squibs
Do you have Double Jointed Elbows?
Just shot my new glock 19 gen 3 today and i had a lot of failure to feed, I hope its just my grip and not the extractor.
Failures to feed shouldn't be an extractor problem. Keep your wrists stiff, and try a variety of magazines and ammo. Make sure your magazines are in good shape and clean your feed ramp.
@guncademybypewpewtactical8640 it's all good now I can shoot with one hand without failure I think it's just me being new and my first time shooting
Imagine the shit that criminals with no training experience . They probably just toss their guns because they think the guns are broken lol
Good video, you got a new subscriber.. About to check out some of your other material now, thanks!
In 55 years of hand loading, my handloads have been just as reliable as factory loads. The only handloads that aren’t reliable are those made by someone who doesn’t know how to hand load. We need to stop propagating this myth that handloads are unreliable.
You don’t even need guns with the ability to shoot a massive laser beam out of your mouth like that .
What about a weak charge malfunction? Do you not know what that is?
Got a boot a brand new 229 legion 5 stove pipe jam so annoying
I actually added some of it to my dry-fire exercises. It's not the same as it's not surprising, but still... get the movements down. Thanks for the video!
Great job!
Need to explain the first one better... when you hear a pop but no bang or nothing at all you don't rack it again and fire. You need to check and make sure you don't have a squib jam.
That is a cimpletely different malfunction.
Get your finger out the weld
Thank you for the valuable info! I enjoy having the recap of the three types in the end.
What is it, and why did it happen, when the gun fired the round but there was no ejection of the case, no stove piping, nothing? Just an empty case in the chamber. Like the round didn’t create enough energy to make the slide function enough to extract and then load a new round. Most importantly, is that the guns fault? Or is it a shooter or ammunition fault?
That is most likely an extractor problem. Try a few different types of ammunition to make sure that isn't the problem.
That tap is so useless
2 boxes of 100 rounds fmj. Each box had 1 possible light primer strike and each box was ran thru a Glock 19.
2 separate pistols with their own box of 100. 1 malfunction each box. Armscor ammo
I fired my new glock 30 today for the first time. 2 boxes, 50 rounds each, I had 2 malfunctions, thats about the percentage of what you had. I or 2 malfuntions per box.
Same here, Glock 19 / 2 out malfunctions out of about 100 rounds .
great tips. what if you have a bullet stuck in the barrel and you rack it back but the shell still stuck in there...
You need to lick the slide back and clear the barrel with your cleaning tool or else your gun will explode if you shoot it .
Great video but what does it mean when you have a type 1 failure to fire during the middle of the magazine? I mean after 3 shots the 4th round has a failure to fire?
Awesome.
Thanks. Just what I needed in a concise well edited package.
Glad it helped!
Great video.
Excellent💯
I saw another video for stovepipe malfunction, he cleared it without the tap. I'm guessing you need to tap to make sure the mag inserts a round into the chamber due to potential fiddling of mag seating when malfunction occurred.
Thank you
Thanks for the great vid! Btw, what pistol are you using?
Nice, thanks!
Step 1, don’t buy a Sig
What gun is used in this video?
Like you, I was curious, because it somewhat resembles an FN FiveSeveN. I believe it's a Smith & Wesson M&P M2.0 9mm 5″ FDE
The way you perform a type 3 malfunction clearance is outdated and not effective except on a flat range.On the two way range-that’ll get you dead.It should never take 7.5 seconds to clear a double feed.One rack is all it takes.Unload the weapon-reload the weapon.It takes a well trained operator 3-4 seconds maximum.
@irishdefense77
I agree with you that the more modern approach is much quicker, however (1) it takes two hands to do it, & (2) it requires that you don't have a magazine baseplate that's flush with the bottom of the grip (ie, you need to have enough grip on the magazine to be able to pull it free). Here's the way I teach it: th-cam.com/video/CnqbCUDreqY/w-d-xo.html
I still teach the method shown in this guy's video, but teach it as a contingency for those who can't get a grip on the magazine (or have weak hand strength), & for doing 1-handed malfunction clearing if one hand is injured.
@@ColdBoreTactical_LLC we were trained one handed only as well and I have never had problems reloading off my belt or my boot.Todays day and age,service pistols are 65% Glock or a copy of such and these weapons in my experience don’t even double feed ever.I have over 80K rounds between my SF career and the State Police for the past 18 years-31 years total and never even seen a live double feed in a Glock.
Great precision in your descriptions, but especially in the steps.
Nice 👍🏼🇺🇸
I’m doing a security academy and the instructor went over this yesterday but this video was much more slower and thorough! Thank you!
Great video 👍🏾
What does a gun store owner do. He can’t just shoot a round off in the store. 😂
A gun wouldn't malfunction if it wasn't being fired
@@andrewarroyo1789 He can't take his job anymore.
Thank you!!
I've seen other videos that say you should remove the mag (lock slide back, eject mag, rack, mag in, rack) is this to prevent accidental discharges?
I dont see why you would lock the slide back then eject magazine and rack, why not just eject magazine and rack ?
@lancehobbs8012 During a Double Feed Malfunction there's a round binding up on the feed ramp, which generally prevents the magazine from falling freely when pressing the mag release. This is why many instructors teach to "lock the slide open, then release the mag" (locking the slide open releases the tension of the round against the feed ramp).
If the round in the chamber was a fired/empty casing, it will have expanded slightly, hence the "rack the slide" step to have the extractor pull it out of the chamber.
Then "reinsert the mag & rack again" to load the next live round.
For those who have enough baseplate exposed on their magazines to grip it, I teach to just "press the mag release with one hand, & yank forcefully down on the mag with the other hand". This removes the stoppage, & all you have to do is "reinsert the magazine & rack slide" to ensure whatever is in the chamber is a live round (typically the one in chamber is a spent casing; racking slide gets that one out & a fresh round in). Here's a deep-dive video that might help illustrate: th-cam.com/video/CnqbCUDreqY/w-d-xo.html
Not so much to prevent a negligent discharge, but because there is likely a round binding up on the feed ramp. See the explanation that I posted to @lancehobbs8012 in his comment to your comment.
This is such a well done video. Thank you for making it!
You are so welcome!
Thank you for this video, I did what you said and it worked 😊
Why use nomenclature and not just call the malfunctions what they are?…stovepipe, double feed etc…
He wants to sound cool lol
Fully agree ... call it by its name and everybody knows what you are talking about.
If he only “called them what they are” (he did said “failure to feed”, “stovepipe”, and “double feed” in the video) someone would be commenting “why didn’t you use the numerical nomenclature?”
Seems like he took the best possible approach and provided the most educational value by explaining how the nomenclature corresponds to the “what they are” in addition to showing how to clear them.
He literally says “a type 2 malfunction is known as a stovepipe.” Does the same when he talks about a double feed. Were you listening ?
except he does. he uses the technical term and the common name. what exactly is the issue here?
you forgot to mention a Hang Fire malfunction, there are also other methods clearing a stove pipe and a double feed
At that moment, when time is against you, how do you differentiate between a hang and misfire?
In over 30 years of intesive competition shooting (handgun, rifle and shotgun), I have only ever experienced 3 hang fires.
Two was with WW II .303 ammo and one was with a muzzle loader where hangfires are more common.
For the rest, if I hear click I simply rack and continue shooting.
