If the round is jammed up tightly, simply hitting the magazine release may not drop the magazine. The immediate-action (IA) drill for a tip-up is to strip the magazine from the gun, rack the slide to clear the action, insert a new magazine and rack the slide to chamber a fresh round.
It is characterized by the round feeding from the magazine, but failing to enter the chamber-instead having the bullet’s nose lodge up against the barrel hood above the chamber and locking up the action. This is one of, if not the, most common malfunctions in a semi-automatic pistol. The nose of the bullet of this dummy round is jammed against the top of the barrel hood-typical of tip-up malfunctions. Here’s a look at the four most common malfunctions. Then, the shooter should analyze the specific malfunction to determine the cause and take corrective action to prevent it from happening again. Operation can be quickly restored if the shooter recognizes the type of malfunction that has occurred and takes the correct Immediate Action (IA) to restore the gun to proper operation. If any leg of that gun/magazine/ammunition triad fails, a malfunction can occur and temporarily stop the operation. Reliable semi-automatic operation depends not only upon the gun working correctly, but also upon properly functioning magazines to feed the firearm, ammunition loaded within the range of pressure levels required to operate the action and loads that feature the correct length and bullet profile to feed smoothly from magazine to chamber. The gun is only part of the operational equation. Most shooters have likely experienced a malfunction at some point, and a lot of us may cuss the gun itself. Or, more commonly, they can suffer a temporary stoppage rendering the gun inoperable for that often crucial moment. Still, they’re mechanical devices made by man and can suffer breakage that renders them totally inoperable. Modern semi-automatic handguns are remarkably reliable tools.
